Vale Mary Hovers

 
Mary, an Honorary Life Member of ESA has passed away.

As a Coach, Coach educator and A level Dressage Judge, Judge Educator and mentor Mary was well known to equestrian people across Australia.

She was employed by EA as a Coach co-ordinator and assessor.

Mary was kind, generous with her time, funny, and a lovely human being who gladly shared her equestrian knowledge with all.

Most people will have a story about Mary- always running late but with a wonderful sense of humour.

Mary lived in Australia for almost 40 years and was sad to move back to the Netherlands after a health diagnosis.

Her passing will touch many who came in contact with her.

RIP Mary Hovers, gone but not forgotten.
