Location: Bastrop, Texas | This is very sad news and such a huge loss. I learned a lot from his clinics. He had so much passion for what he did, and anyone who attended his clinics knows how he could be stern and critical, yet he still had a way of letting you know you're ok because of that twinkle in his eye. He was a fantastic horseman, but more than that, he was just a very fine man. RIP Uncle Ed. |

| My heart is hurting.. I lost my friend and my mentor.. I loved this man and held on to every word that he ever said. I am so glad that I got to talk with him a couple of weeks ago tell him how much he meant to me. He told me things to do with my colt, and even called back to check and see how it was going. My thoughts and prayers go to Matha. Ed will be greatly missed!! |

| Prayers to Martha and his family. What a remarkable man he was. So thankful to have been able to attend several of his clinics. My daughter and I thought the world of Uncle Ed. He made us both better riders. Any time we are having a training issue, we always say "What would Ed do?
Rest in peace Uncle Ed. |
