Evalee Hunter, a lifelong horsewoman, died on May 31 after a non-horse related fall. She was 64.

Ms. Hunter was born in Kansas but grew up in Cortland, N.Y., where she began riding at the age of 4. She participated in 4-H as a child and continued to ride and train western trail and parade horses for several decades.

When her daughter Ali Rawles started riding, Ms. Hunter stepped into the role of “Pony Club Mom.” In 2004, she purchased Spring Meadow Farm in Oxford, Pa., where she and Ali ran a race horse lay-up facility.
