Always an exhibitor who’s watched, listened and learned well,
Select Amateur, Rosemary Webb, has been able to take full charge
of the training and showing of her own stallion, with great success.
QHA Select Amateur, Rosemary Webb, has had a
great love for horses all of her life, and has been
riding ever since she can remember. She first rode
on her parent’s farm, and loved helping her father
break-in and train young horses, with a mix of
stockhorse and Arabian blood. From there, Rosie
went on to attend Pony Club and like many other
Pony Club kids, progressed through to show
jumping. She discovered western horses at the age of 19
and first started in the show arena showing a Paint horse.
She eventually crossed over into the Quarter Horse
scene, found she really enjoyed all of it and hasn’t looked
back since. Rose has lived all of her life at Gilston, on
the Gold Coast Hinterland, in Queensland, and since
leaving school at the age of 16, has worked in the
Pharmacy area. Showing horses on the weekends has
always been, and still is, a wonderful escape for her.
‘Caring for and working with horses has always kept me sane!’
Rose says. ‘I particularly enjoy developing their skills through
their training, and to see and be a part of their achievements when
competing is very satisfying, especially the horses I’ve bred.’
