Cindi Wylie combines her life long love of horses, her educational background in Clinical Psychology and Animal Behavior, and her passion for learning every time she puts her boots on.  An avid rider almost since birth, Cindi has studied the art of dressage exclusively for the last twenty years.

In 2006, Cindi opened the door to Rosebrook Farm, a 37 acre state of the art dressage facility, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in dressage.  The Rosebrook Facility enables Cindi to not only give her students and horses the best learning environment possible, but also allows her to tailor training programs to the individual horses and riders needs.

While Cindi works hard at being the best that she is both personally and professionally each day, her love for all horses shows clearly in her basic philosophy that dressage benefits all horses and riders.  For this reason you see a great variety of horses at the farm, both European and American bred.  In Cindi's training programs, the horses become more relaxed, supple, obedient, and ridable through progressive gymnastic exercises. Cindi also puts great emphasis on the riders seat, helping the rider become more balanced, relaxed, and supple, allowing them greater refinement in their aids, necessary for the clear yet subtle communication between horses and rider, which is intrinsic to all dressage training.

Her philosophy is most evident in her latest Grand Prix partner, Audacity, an 11 year old Morgan cross gelding, sired by the Morgan stallion, Tenacity, who Cindi also trained and rode.  While Audacity was purchased for her children to ride, Cindi soon recognized his talent for collection, and in 2007 the pair debuted successfully in the Grand Prix arena.  In 2008, Cindi and Audi will be gearing their season towards qualifying for the prestigious Dressage at Devon, where Cindi placed sixth on the American Thoroughbred, Kriter, in 1999.

While Cindi has had the honor of working with many very talented trainers and instructors, most recently she was privileged to be asked to ride Audi in a Grand Prix demonstration with Ingrid Klimke, daughter of the late dressage great Reiner Klimke, in November of 2007 at the NEDA Fall Symposium.
