I met Robin first through the Long Beach Business community. Small businesses were flourishing and they gathered at various business events to 'network' and create business relationships. Robin was there to share her love of horses, their boarding, and summer youth camps at Rancho Rio Verde Riding Club. Our friendship in later years involved visiting and sharing over breakfast at Hof's Hut, LB Blvd. I miss you.

I met Robin many years ago when my daughter took up horse back riding. Robin was just such an interesting woman, with a love for all animals that she channeled to make many positive things happen all around her! She made such a great impression. Years later, I was delighted to get to know her at Tippers - and learned more about the business side of this exceptional woman. I know Robin was loved and will be missed by her family - but her reach was far and deep. She will be missed by a community of two legged and four legged friends!

Robin was the first friend I met when I joined The Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce over 20 years ago. We soon discovered our mutual love of horses, which led me to become a volunteer for The Valley View Vaulters. I treasured our friendship and will always think of her with love. Blessings to The Wall Family.

Robin will forever be in our hearts. I met her in the mid 1990's. She cared for the children with disabilities so she performed a labor of love each year so that the kids could compete on horseback. It was called the Valley View Vaulters and we attended many times. Our mutual friend, Deana O'Connell used to volunteer for the event every year by putting a team together to assemble donated items into baskets for the event's silent auction. I bought a beautiful dish set one year. When my niece who was around 7 years old visited from Indiana, all she wanted to do is ride a horsey. Robin offered to let her ride and gave her a lesson. Robin has always been a positive, lovely voice at our Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce meetings and at The Tippers Club. Her motto was "Come on out to the ranch and horse around." She will be sorely missed but I'm so glad we had a chance to meeting this wonderful person.

I remember learning about what Robin was doing with disabled kids when I was an active member of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce in the 1990's. I went to Rancho Rio Verde Riding club and seeing the disabled kids ride was pretty cool. Sending hugs and prayers to your family
