Linda Whetstone 1942 - 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our Chairman, Linda Whetstone. Linda was a stalwart of our sport, having dedicated over six decades of her life to her passion for dressage as a rider, judge and volunteer.

She was also a pioneer and innovator, instrumental in the foundation and success of British Dressage, including the development of our National Championships and Area Festivals. A former Chair of the British Equestrian Federation Council, her loss will be keenly felt by many of her colleagues and friends within the equestrian community. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Linda’s family at this time. We will be making a full tribute shortly and will keep members updated with any information we receive about a memorial service in due course.
