Today we would like to take a moment to recognize, appreciate and express our sadness for the loss of a good friend of Ottawa polo club Stephen J. Thorne

Stephen was not only our resident photographer, he had become a cherished friend to us and eventually an honorary Ottawa polo club member.

We will miss his big smiling face, his kindness and his ability to capture magic behind his lense.

Til we see you again Stephen.
