Many happy memories over the last 60 years. Because of mobility problems we will not be attending Prue's funeral but will be watching it online.
Sending all our love to the Carver family from Jane and Graham Taverner and family

On behalf of the wider and older members of the Horowhenua, Manawatu, Rangitikei and Wanganui Pony Clubs we want to acknowledge not only the part Prue played in her service to the organisation but also our pleasure and admiration for her wonderful, quirky, colourful and staunch character. She was valued for her fairness in dealing with issues contentious or small and always for the betterment of all riders and their mounts.
To her family, whom she loved greatly, our thoughts are with you as we farewell Prue.
Bless xxx
