We in the Rathdrum Order of Malta unit are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Pam Kerr. Pam was a great friend and loyal supporter of our unit over the years.

We were proud to provide medical cover at many of her wonderful events in Broomfield, where she always made us feel welcome.

On behalf of everyone in the Rathdrum Order of
Malta unit, we offer our heartfelt sympathy to Pam's extended family and Ted, and especially to Kate, and to her many friends in the wider equestrian community.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

May she rest in peace.
