To say Polly and Ann are proud of him does
not quite sum up their feelings for Parade.
And the two are quick to give Mike Rosauer
accolades for Parade’s accomplishments,
for without his guidance this dynamic duo
could not have taken the AMHA World by
storm. But this winning team is not through
yet! In 2015 they are set to appear in Halter,
Country Pleasure Driving, Roadster and Versatility. Who knows, maybe another Best All
Around Horse title is in their future?
Polly and Ann are not quite through
breeding champions either. In 2012, the
repeated breeding of LM Hawks Annie
Oakley and First Knights Billy Idol was
repeated and in 2013, Parade’s full sister was
born. Los Arboles Idols Rose Parade, also a
palomino pinto, is a bit smaller than Parade,
but just as classy and talented. The cross will
most likely continue because as Polly and Ann are
known to say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
All of Parades accomplishments have been under
the guidance of his incredible trainer, Mike Rosauer. Rarely do you see a bond such as these
two have. The communication between them is
almost telepathic, Mike thinks it and Parade does
it. Mike says that Hit Parade is truly one of the
most special horses, of any breed, that he has ever
worked with. He cannot wait to continue to teach
him new things and to further strengthen the very
special bond that the two obviously share.
