Margaret Claire "Margo" O'Callaghan

A great horse woman who earned her spurs the hard way, she will be sorely missed

I met Margo in the early 90's at dog training classes we both attended. She and her dog Davey made a great team. I had the pleasure to travel with her to a couple of dog shows. She was such an inspiration.

Do horses go to heaven? If so, I imagine Margo has charmed her way astride one of the finest Lipazzaner stallions who went on before her. I will never forget her excited expression as we watched a video of the Lipazzaners performing in Europe when she visited us in Maine. As difficult as communication was for her, she made it clear which steps were difficult, and which were easy. We had to rerun the video several times, and stop it while she wrote, but I learned a lot.

I was so...

Margo...........how sad we are in Maine. I remember the good times. Seattle U/Unversity of W in the late 60ies; skiing at Crystal; dancing at the LockSpot; surviving Gentics at the U of W (all those pre-med majors! How did we do it?); that last party in the apartment you and Anne shared.

I am so glad that in the 90ies we were able to provide the medium for your first swim since 1970 in a natural body of water........namely, Branch Lake in Maine.

I will never forget...

While I didn't know Margo personally, I saw her often competing in obedience trials with her Davey. She did seem a determined person and it was great to see them in the ring together. I am so sorry Margo was taken at such a young age. My deepest condolences to the family.

Margo was a customer of the Starbucks that I worked at. She used to come in often and would be accompanied by her little dog, Eddie. I am so sad to hear of the loss of this wonderful woman and her companion. She was always full of smiles. You might have a bad day but when she walked in the store with that cute dog and a big smile on her face, it definately lifted your spirtits. She will be missed by many. Some day we will meet again.

I met Margo (and Eddie) while volunteering at Equifriends. All I did was saddle up her horse and hold him while she mounted, and then away she would go. She was an inspiration to me and I am better for having known her.
Happy trails dear heart.

Margo has been an inspiration to all of us, with her determination, her joy, her intrepid spirit and her ability to laugh. We feel blessed to have known her.

I met Margo in class when she was competing with Davey at Dog Shows. It was an honor to have known her. Her laugh was infectious and we all loved her sense of humor. I will truly miss her.
