European medal-winning event rider and RDA pioneer dies aged 92

Medal-winning event rider and “pioneer” of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), Jane Wykeham-Musgrave died peacefully at home on 14 August, aged 92.

Her cousin Nicholas Acland remembered her as a generous, courageous, funny, loyal friend and a devoted and dutiful godmother, with a “huge zest for life”.

One of the top international riders in the 1960s, Miss Wykeham-Musgrave’s achievements in the saddle included finishing second at Little Badminton in 1961 aboard Ryebrooks. The pair went on to win individual bronze at the European Eventing Championships held at Burghley the following year.
