In Loving Memory of Rose Mason

We’d like to extend our condolences to the family and friends on the loss of horsewoman Rose Mason, a pillar of the Tennessee Quarter Horse Association.

“Rose was an incredibly cherished and admired horsewoman by many in the Tennessee Quarter Horse Association community and throughout AQHA. She was a huge matriarch in the rise of the ranch classes,” says Miranda Burkert of Miranda Taylor Photography.

“You will find many tributes to her that all echo the same sentiments of how strong, determined, and welcoming to the horse world she was to so many in the industry. TQHA did recently introduce the “Rose Mason Ranch Challenge” at the TQHA Dogwood Classic which I believe will become an annual ranch futurity,” says Miranda.

We invited all whose lives were touched by Rose to post in the comments to help form a more complete tribute for our website – keep scrolling to see them, and thank you to Miranda for these amazing images.

Rose was one of our favorite people to show with. She always had the best advice, offered words of encouragement, cheered everyone on, and was the most fun person to hang out with at the horse shows. Praying for her family.
