I didn't know Sam personally and had only spoken with her a few times, however her mum last night posted devastating news on facebook.

Sam, tragically was found dead in the field yesterday afternoon, with what appears to be severe head and neck injuries caused by a kick. :(

I believe her username on here was SAMgirl. My thoughts are with her family, partner and friends at this horrific time, i am sure Sam will be up there looking after all of the horses.

RIP Sam Cawkwell x x
 
I've no idea who Sam was, but your post brings home the fact that for all our failings, this forum is a community and sorrow will be felt by many, I'm sure.

Such desperate news. Rest in peace Sam.

a.

ets. Research has now revealed that I did in fact speak with Sam. luckylotti, if you knew Sam on fb, will you pass on my heartfelt regrets to her family?

I only just found this, I was knocked off my feet this morning with the news having known Sam and her stepmum for many, many years. Our families have shared many sad times together and it feels like my own son's death all over again xxx

I had put a post on the dressage thread but wanted to share it with you in case it got lost.


"I wanted to pay my respects to such a wonderful kind funny girl who I have watched from afar develop from a pony mad child in to an amazing horsewoman.

When I first heard of Sam it was through my dear long time friend Elaine Cawkwell back in the 1990's, Sam was a mere child riding loan ponies from a yard near Blackpool. It wasn't long before Sam and Elaine got Sam Horse a beautiful section D who she competed regulary and was a success in the show ring and dressage arena winning almost everything they entered. Elaine encouraged Sam and when Sam got Charlie a beautiful WB her talents and horsemanship came out in full force.

I am so proud that I was allowed to know Sam and even though tiny, share a little in her life. I have followed Sam and Andrew Hacket's story through facebook and from various forums and watched with pride as a family friend has climbed her way to a succesful life.

Reading todays tributes on Facebook reminded me of her wickedly funny sense of humor, her love for her family and friends and her dedication to her sport and the horses she loved so dearly.

Goodbye my darling, you will have a special place in our hearts forever.

Love Mandi and Hannah xxxxxxxx"
