It is with great sadness that we share the news of the recent passing of Richard Barnes, husband of Gill Barnes.

Gill, a former committee member. organised and ran the Wendy Ashton Combined Training Competition and was responsible for arranging the dressage judges. Richard was always there to support and assist Gill with these events and was a much-valued part of the team behind the competition.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Gill and her family at this very sad time. Our thoughts are with them all.

I think the most moving moment I have witnessed was Sky leading the funeral cortege and Libby to her final resting place .

Three hundred people plus, of friends and colleagues attended to pay their respects, she was truly loved and admired by so many.

We send our love to Jo and Phil, her daughters and their families.

Love you Lib.
