In Memoriam: Anne Zander

Canadian eventer Anne Zander died today, May 24, 2013, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Anne was a staunch supporter of the Ontario Horse Trials Association  serving as a director of the association.

As a competitor Anne was very successful. Starting with Dr. Broom  (who was banned from the race track for being badly behaved), Anne  recovered from a broken back and went on to compete him at the  advanced level with great determination. As well she brought on  Caliente Kisses to the advanced level and countless other horses at  all levels.

Anne will be greatly missed as a competitor, coach, trainer, director  and friend. Our heartfelt condolences to her husband and soul-mate Claus Zander.

Sincerely on behalf of the OHTA directors,

Peggy Hambly
President, Ontario Horse Trials Association
