Was he based at Somerford Park Farm? The name rings a bell.

What a shame. Huge condolences to all who knew him and I'm so sorry for your distress at having witnessed Ian's accident.

Oh that's terrible. I go there quite alot, although I've never had lessons there. I have heard of him though.

I used to go there alot too before I sold my horse, didnt have lessons with him but he was usually around smiling and making people laugh, he will be sorely missed.

Ian did my group at camp.
It was a lovely week and he helped me so much.
He got on Gem and said i had a wonderful horse on my hands, and to make the most of her, so so sad.

RIP xxx
