So sad to loose such an incredible horsewoman and great influencer of many riders and coaches. Sue's inspiration went far and wide, personally Sue started my coaching journey many years ago. Our thoughts go to her son Ross and her close friends.

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of a truly wonderful and brave woman, Sue Hendry. There are no words, she will be missed by everyone who knew her. The equestrian world has lost an amazingly talented, energetic and enthusiastic coach, assessor and friend. Sue recently received her Pony Club Cubitt award and a much deserved Cherry award at our PC Areas competitions. Our thoughts are with her family and close friends at this time. RIP Sue
