Barbara M. Geisel
1947-2010
Barb Geisel, a long time member of the Central Pennsylvania Junior Horse Show Association, a USEF Steward, and an avid equestrian, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 28, 2010.
One of the passions of Barb's life was her love of horses and the horse show industry.
Barb was an accomplished side saddle rider and competed with her beloved horse "Sandstone" at many horse shows, including the Devon Horse Show and the PA National Horse Show. In later years, she trained her daughter Sarah who had a successful show career on their large pony "Poindexter".
Barb was an "R" rated Steward and officiated at many shows throughout the Mid-Atlantic States. She recently completed the requirements to become an FEI Vaulting Steward and was invited to officiate at the World Equestrian Games 2010 which will be held for the first time in the United States. She was also working on her FEI Jumper Steward requirements.
Barb supported and served on the Board of Directors for CPJHSA for many years and was chair of various committees.
Her family has requested in lieu of flowers, that memorial contributions be made to the CPJHSA to be used for the scholarship program. They may be sent to 2521 Cousler Circle, York, PA 17404.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 11 am at the Camp Hill United Methodist Church. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the church.
