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, as well as riders of all levels.  In Cindi's training programs, the horses become more relaxed, supple, obedient, and rideable 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.  Cindi has trained many horses to the Grand Prix movements and has students currently competing successfully at the FEI levels.

Her philosophy is most evident in her latest Grand Prix partner, Audacity, an 12 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 and 2009, Cindi and Audi qualified her 'little guy' for Devon.  This was the second time Cindi qualified and placed on a non-warmblood horse for the presigious "Dressage at Devon" horse show at the Grand Prix level, the first time being on Kriter in 1999, an American Thoroughbred who placed sixth in the Grand Prix.  After Audi got over the size and commotion of the big ring and electronic scoreboards during heavy rains in a somewhat tense Grand Prix test, the pair really rallied to put forward with a lovely Grand Prix Special ride, placing fifth.  Audi and Cindi also appeared at The Bearspot Farm Freestyle Challenge, where the pair came in third behind Olympian, Dottie Morkis, and CIndi's trainer, Sue Jaccoma.

While Cindi has had the honor of working with many very talented clinicians, and instructors, including Ingrid Klimke, David DeWispelaere, Lilo Fore, Michael Poulin, Josef Knipp, Ruth Sarkunas, Jean Luc Cornille, Ralf Isselhorst, Karl Milkolka, and Pam Goodrich, most recently has had the opportunity to train with Sue Jaccoma, a USET Training Listed Rider.
