Margaret McIver Passed Away

Margaret McIver, Australia's first Olympic dressage rider, has passed away on 21 July 2020. She was 86 years old.

"This morning we lost a special mother, grandmother, friend, coach, supporter, trail blazer, and our sassy matriarch, our Margie," the family posted on social media. "She passed quickly, peacefully and surrounded by love."

Margaret was a living treasure in the horse world, helping many and imparting her knowledge and experience to those wanting to learn, until 2017 when her health started to decline.

Mciver lived in Ballarat and was married to the late Ken McIver. She was involved in dressage, show jumping and eventing.

Her first show was on Houri at the Waubra Gymkhana in 1948, when she was 15 years old.
