This is very late because I have only just found this site. So shocked and sad to learn of Helen's death. Her absence from U3A groups is felt profoundly. Funny, wise, and deeply connected to her interests. Arohanui Helen and her much loved family.

Helen will be sadly missed by the Dressage community.
Such a lovely lady and a great dressage judge. I always enjoyed having a chat with her. My deepest condolences to her family.

Dear Georgie and Family so sad to see your Mum has passed and so suddenly too. Jim Elsa, Leila and I remember the many competitions (both in Taranaki and other provinces) for both Dressage and Eventing where Helen generously gave of her time judging and supporting the equestrian world. Always had good advice and tips to work on. Thinking of you at this sad time. Jim and Brodwyn
