I met Deb along with her friend Sue, on a riding holiday in NZ March 2023 (no surprise there). Over the 6 days our group made such a special bond with each other. Deb’s zest for life, her love of family and ability to laugh at herself and with us, made the best memories.
Will ride in memory of her always.
