In Memoriam: Neil Ishoy (1959-2015)
Ottawa, ON, Nov. 9, 2015 — Equine Canada (EC) extends sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Neil Ishoy, who passed away on Nov. 4, 2015 at the age of 56. Ishoy, who was born in West-
on, ON, was a talented member of the Canadian Equestrian Team, hav- ing ridden at the elite level in both eventing and dressage. Beginning his career in eventing, Ishoy repre- sented the Canadian Eventing Team at the 1980 Alternate Olympics in France, as well as the 1982 World Championships in Germany. Remarkably, 19 years after
retiring from eventing, Ishoy returned to high performance in 2001, this time in dressage. Riding at the grand prix dressage level for the first time in his career, and part- nered with a horse in its first year of showing, Andiamo Tyme, Ishoy took the North American circuit by storm, racking up wins in Canada and the United States. He capped off the season by winning the Swarovs- ki Canadian League World Cup Dressage Final at the Royal Horse show in Toronto, ON. In addition to competing, Ishoy was dedicated to supporting the

Peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, after a brave battle with cancer, Donald Harder passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015, six days short of his 79th birthday. Beloved husband of Audrey (nee Swaffer) for 55 years. Loving father of Heather Lynn (Andrew) Warner and Richard Donald Todd (Jennifer) Harder. Devoted Grand- pa of Glenn Norman Harder.

Will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Special thank-you to Dr.
Juergens and the caring staff at the Juravinski Hospital, as well as the
ily farm in Morris Manitoba. As a young man, he worked on the DEW (Distance Early Warning) Line in Arctic Canada, and when he came home, he bought a 1957 Ford Meteor and met his beautiful wife Audrey, and they married in 1960. Donald operated his own auto body shop - Harder Auto Body, while enjoying things like drag car racing with his GTO, slalom water skiing on the Red River and holding a private pilot’s licence.

He was an avid golf player, member of the Masonic temple, Township coun- sellor and Provincial MP candidate, collector and restorer of antique
St. Joseph’s Nursing Team, espe- cially Maureen and Vida for all the compassion and support they gave. Donald was born on the fam-
cars, developer and builder of over 40 custom homes as a “hobby” all the while enjoying spending time working with the horses on the farm. He was a mentor and leader for many and always a devoted family man. He will be missed.

EDITORIAL For many years The Rider
has supported all Riding for the Disabled organizations across Canada. We provided editorial and advertising space at no charge to these groups and still do. As T.E.A.D., The Equestri- an Association for the Disabled, was located on a farm just down the road from our office we kinda took extra care of them. I served on the board for many years as well as interim presi- dent. I also helped on fund rais- ing.
of Toronto Banker friends we joking called the Bay Street Bandits. Some of them were into housing developments and newspaper ownership BUT they were willing to purchase the farm that T.E.A.D. now occu- pies. It was a tax receipt issue for them and not a big deal. They would buy the property and turn it over to T.E.A.D. at no charge. T.E.A.D. just had to name the place for them. The director(s) at the time
decided to bring in a new direc- At one point I had a group

T.E.A.D. is closing down to reorganize. I wrote the Director and offered the services of The Rider and myself but I have yet to hear back.
