SHANE ROSE, owners

I am very fortunate to have had many supportive owners though out my career.

One of my long term supporters is Angela Shacklady, Angela owned It's a Knockout, the horse I rode at the 1998 World Equestrian Games (Italy), after the sale of It's a Knockout to America, Angela owned Purbeck Shimmer and High Surprise both these horse were sold to Asia. Angela now owns All Luck who last year represented Australia at the World Equestrian Games and also place third at the Burghley Four Star in England.

Margaret and Ted Ledner bred and owns Cleddau Bobby Dazzler, Margaret and Ted also own Cleddau Monopoly and have shares in APH Moritz and Roscoe P Coaltrain. Margaret and Ted have been a very supportive owner and I hope I can repay their support with International success with their team of horses.  I am looking forward to success with Margaret and Ted's horses.  Margaret also owned a share in Gandalf the Grey who was sold last year to Italy.

John Boyd and Marly Calladine, own Statford Novalis, This young Irish Sport Horse Stallion has progressed through the grades and is starting to make a name for himself at three star level.  I am looking forward to working with John, Marly and Novalis in the future.

Lee Hokianga and Jamie McDonald own Glenorchy Hope, Lee and Jamie entrusted their horse with me during 2006 while Lee was pregnant with their first child.  Glenorchy Hope placed in the top ten at the Adelaide CCI**** in 2006.  Glenorchy Hope is now back with Lee in the saddle and they are going great guns together.  Lee Hokianga and Jamie McDonald now own shares in the up and coming star APH Moritz.  Lee and Jamie are great friends and loyal supporters.

Carol Chapman has been breeding horses for a number of year and her oldest progeny are just starting their careers.  I am fortunate to benefit from Carol's breeding program.

Christine Doan needs no introduction to the equestrian world.  Christine has had much success in the past as a dressage rider and trainer.  Christine represented Australia at the Barcelona Olympic Games with her wonderful horse Dondolo they competed as individuals in the Dressage competition and finished an impressive 28th in the world.  APH Moritz was purchased from Christine and she has retained a share in the horse.
