Tracy Anne KOVACS

I remember Tracy as a little dot riding her pony Kadee round the little track at Clearbrook ... and Judy on a winter evening as the sun set going "come on Tracy I need to get home, Kadee is tired" and Tracy saying just one more time round the track And if Judy got talking to someone Tracy would get another couple of rounds in...my daughter had lessons and appreciated Tracy´s help ... she was treasured and special person gone too soon ... Catherine Heaps (ex Lynn)

Lovely memories of a wee girl living by my mum and dad in Clearbrook st. Leaning on my horses fence wanting a sit on her back. Then in later years my wee girls having a sit on her Corsair Bay, her mum always close by mucking out or feeding and her dad . We loved watching her on Billion and my girls had lessons with her on their ponies. Such a lovely caring person, gone far to soon. Love to her family.

A beautiful woman, talented equestrian and all round lovely person. Taken too soon.She will be greatly missed at by all of us who are involved with equine sport. My condolences to her family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. I have really fond memories of competing against you as a child at show jumping events in Canterbury, NZ. We were so competitive and sometimes we flew by the seat of our pants! Our ponies at the time were amazing! It was such a pleasure to watch your brilliant equestrian career. Remembering you and your loved ones today and always, especially your lovely smile which will stay with me forever.

Remembering with fondness an amazing lady who touched our lives through the Canterbury Equestrian scene, seeing your ever smiling face at many a horse event and training session. Thank you for the guidance and confidence you inspired as we learnt how to bond and educate a young OTTB. Our condolences to Richard, Josh and Georgia and family. Forever in our hearts RIP our lovely sweet Tracy.

My deepest sympathy to family and friends. I met Tracy back when we were show jumping ponies. Always friendly, always thoughtful. A beautiful person inside and out with a lovely smile and laugh. So talented and dedicated you deserved every success you achieved. I loved watching each new horse blossom in the ring under your gentle guidance. All with their own story. Thanks for being you. You will be so missed.

My sincere condolences to Tracy's family. I had the privilege of knowing Tracy thru horses. I had the upmost respect for this quiet ( in her own way) talented, and unwaving dedication to everything she believed in. As many of cannot believe what has happened,we definitely know there is a huge gap in our lives. We can only go ahead and continue to honor Tracy in the way she led her own life. That is to be respectful, have the courage to stand up and dedicate our lives to do what's right in...

I had the privilege to watch Tracy since thoughtfully riding her ponies, continuing the beautiful connection with many different horses, and in helping so many other aspiring equestrians. Although her life was too short, she filled every moment with a wonderful connection with horses and people. You were loved.

I was lucky enough to teach both Josh and Georgia. Tracy was a fantastic supporter of her children and a fantastic Mum to them both. She was both realistic and fiercely honest. She was also up for a chat when we banged into each other at the local shops. I loved catching up with her recently in the township and hearing the successes of both Josh and Georgia. Tracy you were a force to be reckoned with and your kids were so lucky to have you in their corner.
