Annalise Luffingham was a much-loved member of our Park Lane Stables family and an avid Pony Club member and we are all struggling to come to terms with the injustice of her passing away at such a young age.

Annalise (Annie) stood out from the crowd and fitted right in with us because she was kind and she was a doer - she got on with it and was never negative; always willing to have a go. Cold, wind, rain - never mind about that; Annies first question was always, who am I riding? with a huge smile on her face. Annie was funny, willing to help with anything and joined in with whatever was going on with bucket-loads of enthusiasm.

Annie travelled quite a distance to ride at Park Lane Stables - getting up at the crack of dawn with her amazing daddy, David to spend the morning with us, while he patiently waited in the cafe. It was a pleasure to have her around during the 5 days at camp last year she did not ask for our help once; she looked after Eliot like a pony should be looked after and loved him fiercely. Annalise was everybodys friend and she was committed to our Pony Club. Her energy brought out the best in us all.

Annie will always be part of our family and we will be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her parents, Tracy and David when we say 'good bye' to our dear, dear angel on 20 March.

Tracy and David have kindly chosen Park Lane Stables RDA group as one of their chosen charities, as we were so close to Annies heart, so we have set up this JustGiving page if you wish to make a donation in Annalises memory.
