Rocking R Farm
About Us
Bev Roth : Owner/Trainer

Bev has been teaching and training horses for 20
years. She has been riding and working with horses
since she was a child, thru 4-H and similar programs.
The process of bringing up a young horse and
developing it's potential has always been a fascination
for her. That passion for training led her to become a
university certificated instructor, and to focus on
Dressage and to use it to improve horses of all breeds
and disciplines. Her success with horses has built
itself into a boarding and training facility that has
occupied her full time + for the last 16 years. . She
has trained and successfully competed horses in
distance racing , dressage  and eventing.

Bev and her husband Charlie live on the farm, and
have 2 grown sons and 2 grand children. Currently
Bev owns 8 horses, 3 large dogs and 5 cats and
enjoys teaching and running her barn full-time.

She has a wonderful staff to assist her.
