Florence WEST Obituary

Fond memories of a well loved and respected master of horsemanship.
Great memories of a dear friend and neighbour. Breaking in my young welsh ponies with a gentle but firm hand. Sadly missed by all

Although I have been retired for ten years Florence was a very loyal regular customer to our printing business Copyprint for Riding for the disabled.
Florence´s was committed to helping so many young people
And campaigning for a better environment Fond memories of a lovely busy lady Adrienne Bradley

You gave me so much confidence as a young mother that came to live in NZ . Our friendship grew over the years at many A&P shows we competed in together . We all had so many laughs, you were an inspiration to me . Always remember your hunt parties !!!
What a lovely send off today
Rest in peace dear Florence.

Treasured memories of shared times so many years ago when we were young, invincible, teenagers of yesteryear. Your life filled with such passion for horses touched so many, always in our hearts.

Thank you Florence for your huge contribution to equestrian sport. Your wisdom and encouragement have helped so many advance their equestrian pursuits.

Condolences to Florence's family. What a special lady she was. a great sense of humour, amazing memory for names, and so much knowledge that she willingly shared with so many.
We will never forget all the fun times she shared with our Kaikoura Pony Club children.

Florence you were a go getter in any equine discipline, I will always have fond memories
of your sharp wit and telling me off for not brushing my horses tail! Stock and Station was close to your heart. Your love of the high country ,sheep dogs, and station horses , and later Cowboy Challenge winning your first ever entry and competition! Ride high my freind on Larry across those mountains....

Rest in Peace Flo, a wonderful caring lady, and a talented rider who represented NZ, and passed on her knowledge to many.
Condolences to all her family, may your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of a life well lived.
I still have fond memories of Flo and Garney's wedding day, and a neat photo of them, which I treasure.

Thank you Florence for the great learning opportunities and the out of the box thinking we shared. Thinking of your family at this time.

Thankyou Florence for your wisdom. Your help in my younger days with various horses was invaluable. I will miss your huge smile and twinkling eyes. A wonderful friend for over 50 years. My thoughts to Jack, Ian and familiy.

You were such an awesome teacher and supporter and as I´ve aged I´ve realised how much you stood up for me all those years ago. Thank you and rest easy now

Florence - You taught us so much. All the 'pearls' of wisdom, laughter and friendship will be forever in our Hearts. Thankyou - Forever Ride Free
