The horse world has lost a legend but can be grateful for his legacy of sharing his wealth of knowledge. My memories go back a long way.....I particularly remember schooling shows at Hi Tor farm before the days of FLA in the winter when Wendy and Laura were quite little. Of course there are the memories of Sussex County Farm and Horse Show. Wishing peace for Mary, Wendy and Laura.

What a blessing to have watched Frank ride and share his talents with us for all these years. I spent my early years at the Sussex County Fair watching him and Mary perform. We have lost a great talent. My thoughts and blessing to the family.

It is truly a blessing Frank lived a long and fulfilled life. It reminds me of Psalms 90:10 because so many people may never see his age. Cherish his memories forever in your heart.

I have always loved horses and jumping more than anything in the world. Great Olympic equestrians like Frank Chapot were my heroes. It is with sadness I just learned of his passing. My sympathy to his wife Mary, daughter Laura and his family,friends and colleagues. He is in heaven now able to spend eternity with the horses that helped make him great as well as meeting great races horses like Man O War, Mahmoud, and Phar Lap. May he rest in peace.

he was indeed the last of the "Class Acts" in the business. I had a real treat when I met him as he was a guest at OX Ridge in Darien Connecticut when I was 13 in 1961. Then I met him at Wellington in West Palm Beach back in the early 90's and that was a great opportunity.
I never saw a make rider with better hands and a natural seat that all others have tried to duplicate with no such success. Thank you Frank for being truly the best of all time. You brought us all tremendous enjoyment and expertise in a oft confusing and difficult sport.

God Bless You

When I was young, I remember seeing Frank at Montclair Riding Academy, Montclair, NJ, teaching horseback riding to students in the early 1950s. Even at that young age Frank already had made his mark in the equestrian world.

Frank's presence in the horse show jumping world was iconic, I grew up watching him perform at Madison Square Garden, New York and the major Long Island, New York shows. I did meet him in later years. Wishing peace and condolences to his equally-talented wife Mary and family. May Frank rest peacefully.
