After loosing their first little farm to a tornado in 1965, Rose and her husband Hal eventually moved to a larger farm where Rose began fulfilling the desire to become a horsewoman she had possessed since she was a very young child. Starting out their horse life with Arabian horses, Rose discovered that because of her lower back she couldn’t ride their spirited trots. Her Chiropractor husband suggested she ride a smooth gaited breed that didn’t trot, the Tennessee Walking Horse. That began 30 plus years of personal growth and accomplishment with these marvelous smooth gaited horses.

Rose retired from showing horses in 2006 and began writing about all the animals in her life from childhood to the present. The first book, The Horse That Wouldn’t Trot, is about the horses. The next one will be about her mules, with more animal tales to follow. You may reach her at rosemiller2@frontier.com
