SHOW jumping in Ireland has lost one of its stalwarts with the recent death in her 88th year of Vera Frazer from Aghalee, Co Antrim.

Vera dedicated and devoted her life to show jumping from a very early age. She was both a course designer and judge for over 40 years and was instrumental in the training and mentoring of many others in both disciplines. She had a love for all facets of equestrianism and, in her early years, hunted regularly with the Killultagh, Old Rock and Chichester Hunt.
