Beschreibung

Follow Rose Miller's life as she becomes a nationally known Tennessee Walking Horse owner, amateur exhibitor, breeder and judge of pleasure horses.

Meet several stallions including Supreme Xanadu, a Nationa Supreme Versatility Champion who garnered points in "over fences" when few walking horses attempted to jump. He had to compete in open shows against "real jumpers," but eventually got enough points to get the award. Rose's first stallion, Delight's Headman, was terror to breed, indeed might just have serviced the tractor if it were in his mating spot! The last stallion, and the love of Rose's heart, was Praise Hallelujah who competed in tough pleasure classes against sored horses. With the help of renouned dressage instructor, Charles Sherman, Hallelujah and Rose competed at the highest show level and many times brought home the blues. And how in heck do you teach a horse to breed a large black barrel to collect semen? Well, many apples were involved! Read the history of the Tennessee Walking Horse, how soring began and why. Mares with their own opinion of life in general and becoming mothers in particular will have you laughing and crying.

Many of us are animal lovers. Most of us first became attracted to animals when we were small children. Such is the story of Rose Miller. Like many young girls, Rose was born with a deep love for all animals, but especially horses. When she was 4, she announced to her bewildered parents that the family should move to a farm and raise horses! Eventually 4 years later because of her dad's job, they did move to a Pennsylvania hill-top farm where at 15, Rose got Smokey, her first horse. It would be many years later after getting married, moving to Indiana, adding 4 children to the family, and surviving a deadly tornado before Rose got her chance to raise nationally acclaimed Tennessee Walking Horses. Accumulating dogs and cats was simply a part of life. Some fostered, adopted, or purchased, some kept and others re-homed, but all with a story to tell.

Now nearly 40 years later, she is writing about her horses: The Horse That Wouldn't Trot, and mules: Mules, Mules and More Mules, and dog adventures. The family sold their large Indiana horse farm in 2012, and moved to Arizona where she continues to write about the animals in her life. Dogs, Dogs and More Dogs is a tribute to all those dogs that love us with undying affection and fulfill our lives. Next came a joint effort with husband Hal (mostly Hal!): The Gospel of Visitation, a compilation of biblical and modern day testimonies of the many ways God and Jesus visit us. Girls Can Be Cowboys Too! is a collection of stories told by some awesome gals who share life with animals and the land.

The books are educational in a conversational style, but mainly written for the enjoyment of the reader. All books are suitable for every age reader.

In her spare time she enjoys riding her favorite mule, Susie Q.
