It is with deep regret to say that Mr Jack Tarr, friend of Forces Equine and ex serving Royal Air Force, passed away on Saturday morning. His nephew Neil has just contacted our Founder Debi Heath French to let her know.

"Jack was a lovely man and championed Forces Equitation. In recent years he even attended, showing support to the Royal Air Force Equitation Association (RAFEA) Championships at Cranwell" Debi said.

Our thoughts are with Jacks family and we hope you will all raise a glass in memory of this lovely man. RIP Jack, we shall miss you xx #WeSaluteYou
