Sincere condolences to you Mike, Pete and your extended family. I have long admired her horsemanship both on and off the Hunt field and in the SJ ring. Her decorum and lovely manner will be sorely missed by all those who were lucky enough to know her. Thinking of you all.

Mike and Peter, both Glynne and I were saddened to hear of the passing of a good friend, horse women,and hunting person.Glynne well remembers hunting behind Donna's father with her and both of us have happy memories of hunting both behind her and with her at Birchwood and other hunts. The horse world seems to have gotten a little smaller! Our deepest sympathies are with you all and we are thinking of you at this time.

So sorry to hear of Donna's death. I grew up next door to the Menloves and Donna guided me through early riding experiences. I have been amazed at her continued involvement in equestrian circles all her life. Love to Reg, Matthew and Margaret at this sad time.
