Cliff Hunt was my first riding teacher and his kindness and love of fun I remember well too. Over the years I wanted to thank him for those five years of knowing him - our small class followed him to Kimball's stables when he moved to teach there. He gave me a confidence I didn't know I had, and a lifelong love of horses. Bless you Cliff, wherever you are!

I just happened to think of Cliff and found this obituary via an internet search. I hope it's not too late for this to find its way to a relative. As a young boy, I knew Cliff back in the 60s in his capacity as riding instructor and ring master at Aspinwall Stables. Few men were much more important to me as a boy and young man, and I still think of him often and what a kind and fun-loving person he was.
