Rose got her start aboard Sudden Death and won her first of several National Championships with "Mona" in 1996 at the age of nine. Since then Rose has worked with many other horses and competed in a variaty of events, giving her a very well rounded understanding of the animals she works with. Her training philosophy centers around the idea that if you find the right job for your horse and the right horse for you, a successful partnership is inevitable.

Death Wish is one of the many horses that continues to be successful in Rose's training program. Some of his more resent accomplishments have been; 2009 World Champion in Rope Race as well as 2009 Year End High Point in Barrels, Figure 8, and Keyhole. "Killer" also won Open Keyhole and was reserve in Rope Race at the 2010 ApHC World Show. He also won the over all High Point Games Horse.  Although "Killer" has had more than enough success as a speed horse his ever willing personality has allowed him to achieve his Supreme championship, the highest versatility award handed out by the Appaloosa Horse Club. Killer has also been a great ambassador for the breed participating in demonstrations at the Hoosier horse fair as well as many all breed competitions like Ranch Horse shows and The Extreme Cowboy Race.

Rose is pleased to announce that she will be expanding her training program to include clinics on Barrels and Poles as well as colt starting and basic horsemanship. Clinics will be limited to groups of ten or less to insure everyone gets individual attention. If interested in attending a clinic at IB Stables or hosting one at your facility, please contact Rose directly to talk about dates and pricing

In addition to clinics Rose will continue to offer her regular hourly ridding lessons. Whether you've been riding all your life or have never ridden before, Rose loves helping people advance their skills with horses. She has students as young as four and as old as sixty five. Rose strives to make her lesson about more than just learning to ride. All of her students learn how to groom and saddle as well as basic care of the horse. She believes that when you understand how horses communicate with each other, you will be able to communicate better with them. Both private and group lessons are available and can be scheduled with her.

Another service Rose is happy to provide is coaching at shows. Not everyone can make it to a weekly lesson, but would still like some help or a second oppinion when they get to the show. Now you can meet up with Rose at the shows and get all the help you need.

One of the greatest sucesses a trainer can have is the sucess of their students! Over the years Rose has watched many of her student go from beginers and new horse owners, to champions. Nothing is more rewarding. This is Tara Wolf and City Boy, top ten in multiple events at 6 National Championships and Reserve High Point in 2008 as well as the sportsmanship award winner.
