Pat has been training horses professionally since the age of sixteen. Before starting in the world of miniature horses, she specialized in stock horse breeds like the American Quarter Horse. She has started young horses under saddle, retrained problem horses, and shown in both halter and performance. In 1992, Pat bought her first Miniature Horse and quickly fell in love with the breed. She started a small breeding operation, which led her into showing her horses and those of friends. Today, at Rosa Roca Training Stable, Pat can work her magic on both her own horses and those of the many clients who believe in her humane training methods.

Katherine came to Rosa Roca in the beginning of 2007. She grew up riding, showing, and training American Saddlebred horses. She taught her first lessons in saddleseat equitation at the age of twelve and since then has worked with national level horses all over the country. Katherine brings her love of fiery and competitive horses to the Miniature Horse world. She firmly believes that natural training methods harness this intensity without stifling it. Her background combines beautifully with Pat’s to offer a well-rounded, balanced training program suitable for horses of all temperaments and abilities.
