Review (on behalf of Emerson Raisian)
"We are incredibly grateful to Mary Rose Anderson for the support and guidance she provided our daughter, Emerson in preparing for her very first rodeo queen pageant. From day one, Mary Rose was professional, encouraging and genuinely cared about helping our daughter succeed. She helped Emmy master her horsemanship pattern with patience and clarity, breaking it down in a way that made it easier for Emmy to understand and learn.
Mary Rose also took the time to make sure our horse was calm and comfortable carrying a flag, which is a very important party of a rodeo queen’s job. Her experience with both young riders and horses truly shined through.
Thanks to Mary Rose’s support, our daughter went into horsemanship for her first pageant feeling confident, prepared, and excited. We are so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to prepare for rodeo queen competitions or improve their horsemanship."
