e tribune thursday november 30 1972 late ben ewen an accomplished horse trainer by madeline harrison loc hill we extend sympathy to mrs joyce ewen and family rr4 stouffville in the sudden passing of ben ewen following a single car accident near gormley nov 23 ben was well known in horse circles particularly in the arabian and hunter and jumper arenas he has trained many young riders some of whom show out standing ability and have garnered many ribbons on the show circuit under bens tutelage ben ewen was an ex rcmp officer and chief instructor of the musical ride when he retired eight years ago he bought bayview farms from the gord hammond estate which was then located on bayview avenue just north of steeles a few years later a disastrous fire took place but ben rose above that and started his stable up bigger and better than ever including a brand new- indoor arena he was eventually forced out by subdivisions and subsequently moved to stouffville where he has made a name for himself as a riding instructor par ticularly interested in the younger generation ben and his purebred arabian gelding hai mirath were top competitors in the show ring winning many trophies and ribbons ben retired from arabian competition when he lost his beloved horse a year ago ben was sent to europe to study with the world famous lippizaner school in vienna where he learned how to ride and train the out standing white lip- pizan horses he was just getting started in his new career in the high dressage phase and we feel sure that his name would have become famous in connection with the lippizans being trained under him some of you may have seen him at markham fair this year when he put on an exhibition ride on mrs monroes lippizan stallion ben was a good friend and we will miss his presence hopefully all that he has achieved will not be forgotten students honored markham district high school com mencement exercises are the highlight of the school year on nov 24 many parents
