Saddle Ridge Equestrian Properties Salutes Earth Day, Pairs with Florida Friendly Program

Written by: Jenny Ross
Client: Saddle Ridge
Release Date: 2008-04-21

Sebring, FL – April 21, 2008 – Saddle Ridge, an all-natural equestrian community located near Sebring, FL, is incorporating additional “green” and environmentally friendly practices into its real estate development and equestrian properties. Saddle Ridge, currently under construction, merges an equestrian lifestyle with eco-conscious living.

The 1,200 acre community, with only 96 parcels, has been designed to preserve the natural state of the land and ensure privacy for its residents. Saddle Ridge is the first of its kind in the horse industry with regard to its commitment and sustainability in development practices, land conservation, building methods and horse-keeping. In celebration of Earth Day, Saddle Ridge will meet with representatives from the Florida Friendly Program to learn more about earth friendly ways of landscaping.

The Florida Friendly Program is an organization that focuses on environmental protection with respect to landscaping and water practices. Irrigation uses an overwhelming amount of water from the municipal water supplies, and the Florida Friendly Program concentrates on efficient watering and educating others about the negative effects of fertilizers and pesticides on nature. Additionally, the organization stresses the importance of selecting eco-friendly plants, utilizing mulch and compost, protecting wildlife, managing the yard effectively, recycling, reducing water run-off, and preserving the waterfront.

“We are excited to meet with the Florida Friendly Program,” commented Janie Coffey, an agent for Saddle Ridge and Papillon Real Estate LLC. “Earth Day is another reminder that it’s our responsibility to protect the planet. In all areas of our lives, there is a green way to go about things. I think it’s our job to learn about these green solutions and incorporate them into our daily routines.”

Coffey will attend the meeting with Mary Ann Simonds, one of many green experts that Saddle Ridge has hired to contribute to the equestrian community’s eco-friendly practices. Simonds’ experience ranges from sustainable development and strategic planning to eco-tourism and equine behavior.

“Creating an all-natural equestrian community is of utmost importance to us,” added Coffey. “We are developing the site and building our green homes by the Florida Building Coalition’s standards. We continue to take the wildlife into consideration with the construction of our equestrian properties, and we’re learning about horse care and manure management that is safe for the environment.” She noted, “Mary Ann is creating an advisory council of public and private organizations that are involved in environmental and equestrian planning.”

Saddle Ridge is exceedingly committed to constructing an environmentally conscious, deed-restricted development; therefore, additional consultants have collaborated with Saddle Ridge to ensure that the building practices coincide with a green lifestyle. Gregory J. Sawka of the Southeast Soil & Environmental Service Inc. recently teamed with Saddle Ridge as a soil consultant and engineer. Through composite samples, he performed tests to examine the suitability of the soil for horse grazing.

The community of Saddle Ridge and its all-natural equestrian properties will provide miles of bridle trails, a 20 acre equestrian community center with a covered arena, a dressage arena, a hunter/jumper field, a community barn and acres of pastures and fields. For a limited time, Saddle Ridge is offering a select number of 10 acre parcels, a 3,000 square foot custom home and a three-stall barn for only $690,000. Only 15 packages remain.

To learn more about Saddle Ridge, please visit www.SaddleRidgeFl.com or call 1-866-962-5263.

Florida Equestrian Property Saddle Ridge Teams With Papillon Real Estate LLC

Experienced Specialists Contribute to Successful Development

Saddle Ridge, an all-natural Florida equestrian property near the historic town of Sebring, FL, has teamed with Papillon Real Estate LLC to strengthen its sales and marketing and reinforce the very best in eco-conscious quality. Papillon Real Estate, based out of Coral Gables, FL, provides guidance and insight to real estate purchasers, especially those with equestrian interests.

Janie Coffey of Papillon Real Estate commented, "Originally, when Saddle Ridge met with us, they said they were going to create an equestrian property in Florida. It was going to be large lots and bridle trails. We really encouraged them to create a true equestrian center, and we urged them to build a 'green' development to preserve the land and protect the environment."

"They hired our company to be the equestrian development consultants as well as to help with sales and marketing because of our experience with equestrian real estate in Florida," explained Coffey. "I am familiar with many equestrian estates, and I saw a need for a full-service community that has a barn, a covered arena, and outdoor riding areas. Additionally, I truly believed an all-natural community would provide horses and homeowners with a healthy and safe environment."

Coffey and her business partner Shelly Montalvo have both earned their Green Certified Real Estate Professional Designations. Coffey has been in the real estate industry since the early 1990s, working for a developer in Washington D.C., and she has real estate experience in such areas as design, construction management, general contracting and sales. Montalvo, originally from England, works with clients in international investment and recently earned her Transnational Referral Certification.

Together, they hold such certifications and licenses as:

• Certified General Contractor
• Licensed Real Estate Brokers
  
• 1031 Exchange Certified
• Graduates of the Realtor Institute (GRI)
  
• Quality Service Certified (QCS)
  
• Green Certified Real Estate Professional (GCREP)
  
• Transnational Referral Certified (TRC)
  

Additionally, they are members of:

• National Association of Realtors (NAR)
  
• Florida Association of Realtors (FAR)
• Realtor Association of Greater Miami and the Beaches (RAMB)
  
• Commercial Real Estate Women - Miami (CREW)
  
• International Consortium of Real Estate Associations (ICREA)
  
• National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)
  
• Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce
• 1,000 Friends of Florida
• Active Rain - Real Estate Network
• National Trust for Historic Preservation
• Florida Trust for Historic Preservation
• Dade Heritage Trust

Saddle Ridge is exceedingly committed to constructing an environmentally conscious, deed-restricted development, and additional consultants have collaborated with Saddle Ridge to ensure that the land conservation, building methods, and horse-keeping practices coincide with a green lifestyle. Gregory J. Sawka of the Southeast Soil & Environmental Service Inc. recently teamed with Saddle Ridge as a soil consultant and engineer, and Mary-Ann Simonds was added to its team of "green" experts appointed to this unique Florida equestrian community. Simonds is a professional equine and equestrian consultant who has worked in the equestrian industry for the last 25 years. Phelps Media Group, an equestrian public relations firm in Wellington, FL, has also joined with Saddle Ridge to gain media exposure for the development.

"Saddle Ridge is working hard to bring in specialists for all the different components," noted Coffey. "All of these relationships really provide Saddle Ridge with invaluable information, and they keep the community visible in a variety of markets."

Saddle Ridge spans 1,200 acres and offers 10 acre parcels for homes and horse farms. It has been designed to preserve the natural state of the land and ensure privacy for its residents. At this time, Saddle Ridge is pleased to provide new customers with a limited time offer.

Pat & Linda Parelli, Stacey Westfall, Josh Lyons and more in Florida at the Florida Equine Capital Expo

My family and I went to the Florida Equine Capital Expo in Ocala recently. The expo is an equestrian fest of vendors, shows, exibitions, breeds and everything "horsey". There is a special emphasis on "natural horsemanship" and we were especially thrilled to see both Pat and Linda Parelli, Stacey Westfall, Josh Lyons as well as Tommy Turveyi. My 12 year-old daughter Bailey, whose equestrian experience has solely been English hunter/jumper, we thrilled beyond belief to see how the natural horsemen worked with their horses. She was especially taken with Linda Parelli, I am sure because Linda comes from the English discipline of Dressage, close to Bailey's own background. Imagine Bailey's excitement when she was able to take a photo with BOTH Linda AND Pat!!
