(British Dressage) – British Dressage is sad to announce the passing of Jane Goldsmith FBHS last night. Jane will be known to many as a leading exponent of para equestrian throughout the world as well as a highly respected trainer in all disciplines. A former Chief Examiner for the British Horse Society, Jane was an FEI Para Steward and acted in many cases as an expert witness. Last year, she was presented with the Queen’s Award for Equestrianism for her outstanding service.

Further information will be posted as it becomes available.

BD Chief Executive Amanda Bond commented; “Jane’s contribution to our sport, both here in Great Britain and throughout the world has been phenomenal. As one of the pioneers of Para Dressage sport, we owe her a huge debt of gratitude for her dedication. She will be fondly remembered by so many for her wisdom, her generosity and her strength of character. We have lost a great coach and a dear friend. Our prayers are with John and her family.”
