Who We Are
Catalina Riding Club is owned and managed by Rose and Robert English.
Rose Lindley English was born and raised in Tucson Arizona, where she got her first pony in the 5th grade. She was a Texas barrel racer and turn-back rider for Tom Lyons cutting horse ranch in Grandview, Texas. Rose taught riding lessons and guided trail rides for Lazy K Bar Guest Ranch in Tucson. Rose has owned & managed Rockin’ B Riding Club, which is the #1 Horse Camp in Anchorage Alaska for 17 years. She was a Certified Horsemanship Association instructor, for both English and western riding. Studying under several natural horsemanship trainers over the years, she learned to communicate well, and has the ability to teach her students and horses to be bold and confident. Rose has dedicated her life to the education and development of her horses and students. Many of her riders have gone on to enjoy successful equestrian careers.
After 30 years braving the cold winters of Alaska, Rose decided to head home with Bob and many of their finest school horses. They started Catalina Riding Club at Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort & Spa. They now spend quality time with family, and a new community of students and riders! Rose & Bob still own Rockin’ B Ranch and will return each year to serve the students in their highly popular summer camp program.
Bob English is Rose’s biggest support system. He is the main caregiver of the horses, drag rider on trail rides, maintenance manager, lead mechanic and grounds keeper of Catalina Riding Club stables. If you see Bob around, thank him for all he does behind the scenes.
