Miss Tiffany Rose



Miss Tiffany Rose has been inducted into the PHBA Hall of Fame. A horse must be deceased and the death of our beautiful and beloved mare brings my family great pain and grief. The committee is made of up of selected committee members and PHBA Past Presidents, many of whom are judges and have judged Tiffany and her offspring a number of times, have deemed her accomplishments worthy of the PHBA Hall of Fame and this
brings me great pride and happiness.

I'm proud of the accomplishments that Miss Tiffany Rose and I have done together, as well as those accomplishments she and my husband made, and the accomplishments her produce have done so far, but the best feelings are the ones of my memories of our fun times together and all the joy, gladness, and happy times we had througout our 'wild ride' with each other. She was so sweet and kind and loved everyone and everything and was never cross and was always so willing to please. There will never be another like her and I'm grateful to God for putting us together.

who owned, showed, shared and LOVED
Miss Tiffany Rose - the most beautiful
mare in the world and the Newest
PHBA Hall of Fame Member - you will
live in our hearts forever!!!!!!!!
