In Loving Memory of Paul Wayne Rottweiler

The Texas Arabian Breeders Association is deeply saddened by the passing of Paul Wayne Rottweiler on October 19, 2026.

Wayne dedicated much of his life to the horse racing industry, enjoying a long and successful career as a racehorse trainer across several states. His passion for horses, dedication to the sport, and contributions to the racing community leave a lasting legacy.

Beyond racing, Wayne was a devoted family man, husband, and man of faith. He shared 72 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Glenda.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Glenda, his family, friends, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Wayne will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by the horse racing community.

May he rest in peace.
