Cayley Wilson, an AQHA Professional Horseman, believes that there is little magic or mystery in horse training. Hard work, an open mind, and an affinity for horses is what has propelled this Canadian native into the spotlight of international competition. Cayley is quick to attribute his success to his loyal clients who continue to bring him well bred and talented horses, as well as his hard working family who are an integral part of his program.

His mentors and heroes include fellow Canadians, Les Timmons and Dr.Denton Moffat. Cayley continues to be challenged and inspired by all the industry greats who are consistently at the top of the leader board each year. With only 7 years of showing Cayley has already broken the $100,000.00 earnings mark and moved into the Top 30 Open Rider list of the National Reined Cow Horse Association.
