“Rosie was an outstanding jockey throughout her career and a role model for aspiring riders, especially younger females, she gave them hope and encouragement that they could become the next ‘Rosie.’ Since moving into the next chapter of her life, she has continued her passion for horses and the people who work with them, Rosie has worked tirelessly to promote the adoption and retraining of Thoroughbred racehorses. She has truly been a difference-maker.”

“Rosie is someone whom I’ve admired for a long time. Watching her rise to the top of the jockey rankings with such grace and poise was so refreshing and needed in the racing industry. She quickly became a role model for hundreds of little girls dreaming about becoming a jockey. She has excelled in her new career running her own farm and training program for retired racehorses. Her natural riding talent and horsemanship have helped many horses transition and succeed in their second careers. She continues to be an ambassador for a variety of aftercare efforts and is always freely giving of her time and endorsement to raise awareness and funding. She is a true hero to our sport and specifically to the horses that give their all both on and off the track.”

“As respectful of a career Rosie made for herself on the track, she has done just that off the track. Her love for the industry shines through her passion for retraining retired racehorses and teaching others her trade. All while being a wife and mother, she continues to help promote Thoroughbred aftercare."

“As a jockey, Rosie was at the top of her game. Exceedingly talented as a rider, she accomplished more than any woman – and most men – have in the sport of horseracing. Beyond that, she was an incredible ambassador for the sport and advocate for the horse. Just like the horses she works with, Rosie had so much left to give after retiring from racing. Her “second career” has focused on retraining racehorses to go onto successful careers in the equestrian world. Through both careers, Rosie has given the industry and its horses so much more than we could ever truly appreciate, and she has done so with grace, skill and persistence. As a former professional athlete, she appreciates on a different level the transformation Thoroughbreds make – both mentally and physically – when transitioning from racing to a new calling. She not only is an expert in the irons, but also so good at sharing this side of the industry with the masses through interviews, social media and more. All of us who love racing and racehorses are forever in her debt.”

“Rosie the epitome of a hero; here to save the day and lead the way. She is the definition of commitment. Whether it’s being a jockey, a mother, a sister, daughter, friend or rider/trainer, she is always there to give you 100% and then some. She is passionate about her horses and her family; always striving to do a little bit better than the day before. She has been my biggest supporter from the day she was born, cheering me on and believing in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. She is a role model for what it takes to be successful; never letting others thought or opinions stop her from pursuing her dream She is resourceful; when she has a goal, she will always figure out a way to accomplish it. And most importantly she is KIND. She is kind to her animals, friends, family, employees and colleagues. She is the first to help build you up when you are struggling; she will lend you a helping hand when you feel you can’t go on, even if she has had an exhausting day herself. She is humble. Even with all of her global accomplishments, she stays humble, always striving to become a better person than she already is. The world is a better place because Rosie is in it.”

As time and career paths have changed, Rosie’s unparalleled ability to connect with horses has not. Rosie began acquiring OTTBs for the purpose of retraining and in some cases re-homing. As in anything Rosie puts her mind to, she worked hard to perfect herself as a rider in the discipline of eventing in which she had to become a student all over again. I have seen an equal if not greater passion ignited in her as she works with retraining the animals that have given her so many blessings in life for which she is eternally grateful. Rosie is the definition of ‘all in’ and is very selfless when making sure that everyone under our roof gets the utmost support in whatever they pursue..."
