The Inglis family are so grateful for all the support they are receiving following the loss of Olivia and would especially like to thank the committee and members of Berrima Pony Club for setting up this beautiful memorial at their grounds. 

The Inglis family are members of the Berrima Pony Club.

"I am overwhelmed by the level of support we are getting from across the entire equestrian community," said Charlotte Inglis, "riders and horse lovers everywhere are being amazing and we are so grateful. I would especially like to thank Berrima Pony Club for this beautiful memorial for Olivia."

An announcement was made overnight at the Equestrian New South Wales annual awards dinner that a scholarship for young Eventing riders has been established in memory of Olivia.

The Olivia Inglis Eventing Scholarship will provide emerging riders with funding to support their training and competition.

Thousands of riders across the world - from the youngest pony clubber through to top elite athletes across all disciplines - have posted their favourite horse photos to social media with #rideforolivia to show their support for a beautiful young soul taken too soon.

We're sure the resulting mosaic image of Olivia and Coriolanus, which will be made from all these photos, will be a wonderful gift for the Inglis family.

The funeral service and celebration of Olivia’s life will be held at 11.30 am on Monday 14 March 2016 at St Judes, Avoca Street Randwick, Sydney. Parking will be available at Inglis Newmarket,1 Young Street Randwick and guests can walk to the service or utilise the available shuttle bus.

The Inglis family requests in lieu of flowers that members of the community consider making a donation to the Olivia Inglis Eventing Scholarship Fund.
