THE late Anne Lane (née Horsburgh) never made it to Millstreet with her literary trailer but, at this time of year, she will be remembered by many selling her books and chatting to all at the Tattersalls international horse trials.

Anne, who died on Thursday, March 13th aged 95, had a lifelong love of horses which developed early when she and her sisters, Jean and Dorothy, travelled to and from their home Swiftbook House, Saggart, Co Dublin in a pony and trap.
