An estimated crowd of 1,000 people attended Christine Brown’s wake yesterday at her home in Versailles, Ky. Christine will be laid to rest today at Pisgah Presbyterian Church in Versailles wearing the purple cross-country outfit she donned so many times to compete her beloved mare Rivella. While Christine was truly an eventer at heart, she was much more than that — a devoted animal lover who rescued countless dogs and horses, a tireless volunteer to Area VIII, and a cherished wife and friend. Compiling the tribute piece I will post later this morning has been incredibly humbling; this woman truly made the world a better place. Rest in peace, Christine.
