Patricia "Patsy" du Pont

Patsy was my second Riding instructor and our team won national title in Gymkana one year . At horse camp she had Billy Sabine come in as our drill instructor . We often hunted with Ross Taylor or fair hill . Patsy and bassets has a permanent place in my heart!

patsy changed my life in so many ways. she was generous and kind and sharing of all she had to offer others. I will never forget her love for her hounds and horses or her generosity

I will never be able to think of my old home in Fair Hill and not think of Patsy. She was Fair Hill. She lived a long and full life that she shared with many. A kind and loving women. I found one of her young dogs while riding in Fair Hill carried him home on my horse and took him to my vet, Debbie Roberts at Nonantum. I called Patsy to let her know where her young dog was. She was so gracious and thankful. That's just what we do if we care about our animals. Patsy would have done the...

Patsy was one of the most "real" people I've ever known! She opened her home & stables to all! Her animals were her family & she treated them better than her human friends & family! I learned more from her than any book or school could teach! What fun we had fox hunting, pony clubbing & just riding or mucking the stalls!
May she be at peace in heaven with her old Henry Hoople & all her other well loved & cared for animal family!

She was a very nice lady and very dedicated and memorable. Although I haven't seen her in many years, I thought of her again the day she passed. May she rest in peace.

Patsy was a wonderful asset to children and animals and will be sorely missed

She will be greatly missed. Our children enjoyed the summers at the Pony Club and we enjoyed the knowledge she gave them.

I can remember asking Patsy if she would teach me how to ride a horse. Her response to me was "I only teach children, but if you come over tomorrow, I have two arthritic horses that need to be exercised". I was 42 then and I continued to ride and fox hunt with Patsy for the next 40 years. (I am now 96.)

I was introduced to foxhunting by a dear friend Kathryn Wills who introduced me to Patsy and I enjoyed hunting with her and her sister Marie for years - she truly loved her animals and her and Miss Wills will be truly missed. Susan Ferguson, Mullica Hill, NJ
