Ashley Rolader - Assistant Trainer & Rider

Ashley also began riding at the age of seven and has been riding and competing in the hunters, jumpers, and equitation ever since.

While in high school, Ashley was a working student for her trainer and learned the ins and outs of the business. She also started an IEA team that she competed on while continuing to show her personal horses. Ashley graduated high school early and started her career grooming, riding, and teaching full time.

Since then, Ashley has enjoyed bringing along young horses, coaching IEA teams, and teaching riders safely and correctly to achieve each one’s individual goals. Ashley proudly joined the MDS team as an assistant trainer and rider in 2019!

While Melinda and Emmy are on the road showing, Ashley is available at home to keep our clients and horses going and prepared for the future.
