Kenneth Peterson, fervent d\u00e9fenseur de longue date du saut d\u2019obstacles canadien et ancien pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019\u00e9quipe \u00e9questre canadienne, est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Ottawa en f\u00e9vrier, des suites d\u2019une longue maladie. Il \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 de 87 ans.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 au Royaume-Uni en 1938, Ken est arriv\u00e9 au Canada en 1967 et a travaill\u00e9 comme chirurgien \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital St. Joseph\u2019s de Toronto \u00e0 partir de 1972. Les chevaux ont pris une place importante dans la vie de Ken et de sa femme, Gillian, apr\u00e8s leur d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement \u00e0 King Township en 1979. Ken est devenu un fervent partisan du saut d\u2019obstacles en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, et de Jay Hayes en particulier, en cr\u00e9ant le syndicat Solid Gold, qui a achet\u00e9 Zucarlos, l\u2019\u00e9talon gris fougueux avec lequel Hayes a concouru lors de la finale de la Coupe du monde de 1989 \u00e0 Tampa, des Jeux \u00e9questres mondiaux de 1990 \u00e0 Stockholm et des Jeux olympiques de Barcelone en 1992, o\u00f9 ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 le couple athl\u00e8te-cheval canadien le mieux class\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Peterson a \u00e9t\u00e9 cofondateur du Collingwood Horse Show en 1987, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des familles Hayes et Chapman, et a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019organisation de nombreuses activit\u00e9s de collecte de fonds pour l\u2019\u00e9quipe de saut d\u2019obstacles. Jay Hayes a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : \u00ab Sa plus grande force \u00e9tait d\u2019attirer les gens et leurs ressources vers ce sport. C\u2019\u00e9tait un magicien. \u00bb Gillian Peterson a ajout\u00e9 : \u00ab Ken a persuad\u00e9 bon nombre de ses amis m\u00e9decins de St. Joseph\u2019s qu\u2019ils ADORERAIENT s\u2019impliquer dans le monde du cheval ! \u00bb<\/p>\n

En tant que passionn\u00e9 de chasse au renard au sein du Toronto & North York Hunt, Peterson c\u00f4toyait de nombreux membres impliqu\u00e9s dans le Royal Horse Show et l\u2019\u00e9quipe \u00e9questre canadienne. \u00ab Il s\u2019\u00e9tait arrang\u00e9 avec ses amis m\u00e9decins pour qu\u2019il y ait toujours un m\u00e9decin sur place au Royal ! \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Gillian.<\/p>\n

Peterson est devenu pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019\u00e9quipe \u00e9questre canadienne en 1991 et a occup\u00e9 le poste de chef d\u2019\u00e9quipe aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de La Havane, \u00e0 Cuba, o\u00f9 le Canada a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent par \u00e9quipe et la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or individuelle (Danny Foster) en saut d\u2019obstacles. Il a soutenu l\u2019\u00e9quipe aux Jeux olympiques de 1992 et 1996, ainsi qu\u2019aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains en Argentine en 1995.<\/p>\n

Beth Underhill se souvient : \u00ab Son enthousiasme pour ce sport \u00e9tait contagieux. Il \u00e9tait toujours pr\u00eat \u00e0 s\u2019impliquer de quelque mani\u00e8re que ce soit. \u00bb<\/p>\n

En dehors du monde \u00e9questre, Ken Peterson pratiquait \u00e9galement le golf et la p\u00eache avec le m\u00eame enthousiasme. En 1997, Ken et Gillian ont d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 aux \u00eeles Turques-et-Ca\u00efques, o\u00f9 ils ont v\u00e9cu pendant 20 ans avant de revenir au Canada.<\/p>\n

Peterson laisse derri\u00e8re lui son \u00e9pouse, Gillian, et ses filles Jayne, Nicola et Caroline. Une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie en son honneur est pr\u00e9vue pour la fin de l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Sandra Anderson, Danny Foster, Beth Underhill, Ian Millar et le Dr Ken Peterson \u00e9taient pr\u00e9sents pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer cet honneur. \u00a9 Michelle Dunn.<\/em><\/p>\n
