Tamzin died un-expectantly on the 19th of May 2008 just three weeks after her
25th Birthday which should have been a very important exciting time and stepping
stone in her life. Horses and ponies were what Tamzin’s life was all about and
Tamzin had planned to purchase further equines for her breeding program. She had
setup her own prefix and had registered with estate agents as she had planned to
purchase land for her stud.
One of Tamzin's mares was due to foal a few days after she died. Tamzin was
looking forward so much to this foal being born as it was from two blood lines
she knew would produce a wonderful result. This was to be her first foal under
her own prefix. The foal was born a week after Tamzin died and has now been
named Tribute (as a tribute to Tamzin).
Tamzin grew up with horses all around her. She started riding when she was just
18 months old in a basket saddle on the Shetland pony we bought for her, who is
still going strong and is now 40 years old.
Tamzin worked as a competition groom in the Leicester / Melton area which was a
job she enjoyed very much and she also enjoyed meeting some of the most famous
names in the horse jumping world. Tamzin twice enrolled at Moulton College to
gain qualifications to further her career in the equine industry. She made many
friends who all had the same intense love of horses as Tamzin did. She was
always friendly and full of fun and just wanted to enjoy life as much as she
could.
Tamzin loved her ponies with all her heart and had planned to setup a school
specialising in riding for the disabled so she could help unfortunate children
and give something back to the community. She researched this project to its
full extent as this was extremely important to her as she wanted to see the fun
and enjoyment the ponies would give disabled children and help them overcome
disabilities with the therapy that the ponies gave.
Tamzin was an extremely talented girl who would fight to the bitter end in what
she believed in. When Tamzin put her mind to something she could make it happen
with her shear grit and determination!
Tamzin has left behind her mother Dorothy, father Michael, brother Mark, sister
Yasan and her miniature horses who all miss her very much. We are desperately
trying to come to terms with the sudden and untimely death of Tamzin. Her sister
Yasan is expecting her first baby in December and Tamzin was looking forward to
becoming an aunt. She had so many plans, all of which were easily obtainable
with her talent.
In Hand showing of ponies was one of Tamzin’s most enjoyable interests which
she was extremely successful at throughout her life. At the tender age of 15,
Tamzin won many, many championships at the 1998 UK-USA horse show and beat all
the other 770 horses winning the champion of all champions in the show. Tamzin
had a lovely rare talent with ponies and will be deeply missed by the Equine
fraternity, her family and all her friends.
We miss our daughter more than words can describe; her happy smiling face, funny
laugh and her fantastic ability to make friends and enjoy life wherever she
was.
Rest in Peace Tamzin, we know you are watching over and looking after us. You
are in our thoughts all the time, we will never forget you Tamzin and we will
treasure your memory for the rest of our lives!
Tamzin is also featured on the family website for the Tanzivan Stud when she was
younger. http://www.spotted-pony.com

THERE HAVE BEEN ANGELS IN MY LIFE
There have been angels in my life,
While they haven't arrived with a blast of trumpets,
Or a rustle of wings,
I've known them just the same,
They performed their acts in human guise,
Sometimes borrowing the faces of family or friends,
Sometimes passing as well meaning strangers,
You have known them too,
When the right word was needed,
When a tiny act of kindness,
Made a great difference,
Or perhaps you heard a voice,
Whispering in the night,
The words not quite clear,
But the message unmistakable,
There is hope,
Ther is hope .......

I HOPE WE MEET IN HEAVEN WHERE FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS.
A SMILE FOR YOU
Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu
When some one smiled at me today I started Smiling too ,
I passed around the corner and someone saw my Grin
When he smiled I realized id passed it on to him
I thought about that smile then I realised its Worth
A single smile just like mine could travel around The earth
So if you feel a smile begin don’t leave it Undetected
Lets start an epidemic quick and get the world Infected
EVERY ONE NEEDS A SMILE

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears
I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world
And live just one day at a time
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile

God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.
Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.

i am sure they will be firm friends
this young lady has so much in common with my Charlotte, her love of her horses shines thro over all else...
i am sure they will be heading to horsey heaven, and arranging shows for all the horses and ponies who are there too...the hole that they leave behind we will have to fill with tremendous memories of them both.
are you still showing for her? i am sure she would win lots with Tribute, he is stunning..
love to all
