The British Horse Society pays tribute to legend Elwyn Hartley
Edwards
The British Horse Society today (12 December 2007) paid tribute
to distinguished equestrian writer and journalist Elwyn Hartley
Edwards who has died, thought to be aged 80.
BHS Chairman Patrick Print said: "He was a brilliant
journalist and one of the world's leading authorities on saddlery
and the history of it. He wrote many equestrian books which
were published around the globe. Elwyn was a great historian
of equitation and always wrote in a forthright manner, particularly
in his regular column for the Society's magazine, British
Horse.
"Elwyn also served commendably on the BHS Council and
as a regional chairman and was awarded the BHS Award of Merit.
He will be sorely missed by all who knew him in the BHS and
through the equestrian world."
