My sincere sympathies to all Kevin's many friends and family at this time. His work for the Canterbury Area of the NZ Horse Society will be forever remembered, as well as Internationally with Horse Trials here and overseas. His work for the National Equestrian Centre (S.I.) at McLeans Island was enormous. Thank You for everything.
