Lance Shepherd - funeral arrangements
8 Jan 2015
Dear members of the Australian polo community
I learnt yesterday the very sad news that Lance Shepherd has died following the serious fall he had nearly a year ago whilst playing polo in WA.
From North Star originally, Lance began his polo career working for Sinclair Hill for many years. He then moved to Ellerston, starting at the same time as Jim Gilmore, as a young up and coming player. In 1998 and he spent time at Bobby Aguirre’s Timor Station before heading to Queensland for several years where he worked with Ron Wanless and Mike King.
Lance gained a handicap of 5 goals but is best known for his wonderful horse skills.
Lance was husband to Linda, father to Ashleigh and James, who is currently based at Garangula Polo Club and stepfather to Nacho Gonzalez, also a professional player.
The funeral arrangements are as follows:
Date: Monday 12th January 2015
Time: 11.00am
Location: St Pauls Anglican Church
Mount St
Murrurundi
Wake: Following the service at the church.
Local air charter service: Pay's Air Charter, phone Matt on 0427 116 975. Allow 30 mins drive from Scone to Murrurundi.
