When I rode at Secor Farms with Wayne Carroll (68-70), Stig was assistant trainer. I admired his soft touch with horses and humans. I remember him fondly and wish his family well.

What a wonderful and well written obit! I don't have much more to say, except that I met Stig when he was about 21 and riding jumpers professionally for Dorchester Farm. The trainer, then, might have been a little ahead of himself, because he had Stig riding a THREE year old in the Grand prix at Cleveland Horse Show. The poor horse was talented, but terrified. He was the same color as Stig...a blazing chestnut with flaxen mane and tail. After bounding over several fences like a deer and circling by the ingate,- he bolted out of the ring, with Stig helplessly see sawing on the reins which might as well not even been in the horse's mouth. In his flight back to the barn, he had to jump a 4' wide 4' deep drainage ditch (with no problem) but left Stig even further back in his backward leaning, desperate attempt to stop the poor horse. They both arrived at the tented barn safe and not very mentally sound, but Stig's "Man from Snowy River ride" was quite unforgettable!. He then appeared at our door in KY some 12 years later, working on the nearby Keeneland race track and vowing it was his job for life. Not too many years after that, I was galloping horses at the track and had the pleasure of working for Stig and making Barbara, his wife, one of my best friends for life. He was fun to work for, always kept his crew in a good mood, and no matter how flighty his owners were, I was impressed that he always had a job. He kept his humor and his rascally attitude to the very end.- My heart goes out to Barbara and Toft. How empty their lives must feel without Stig. - Ouisha McKinney

The above photos were taken at Hilton Head Island with, Susan & Stig my two BFF's during Thanks giving. We had so much fun.
Stig read lots of books last winter with /spice the Jack Russell at his side. He loved dogs and they loved him too.

So sorry for,your loss. Stig was a great teacher who inspired me to always strive to push myself harder and be better. His training enabled me to become a professional horseman later in life. Stig will always hold a very special place in my heart. My sincere condolences to all his family.

As a show jumper rider back in the 70's when he rode for Don Snellings. It was always amazing to watch him ride. All Thoroughbreds in th we ring back then. He rode a jumper called "Seventh Heaven" for Don, a true horseman also gone. That horse wasn't great with his knees. He just jumped higher. Don't know how Stig was able to ride that horse.
