♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin was murdered on the 19th of May 2008 just three weeks after her 25th
Birthday which should have been a very important exciting time and stepping stone in her life.
Tamzin had just inherited a very large sum of money on her 25th Birthday but due to the actions of
her uncle & aunt the money was delayed and the part received before her death only cleared
Tamzin’s bank when she died. The rest of Tamzin’s inheritance from her grandmother was never
received due to the actions of her evil uncle & aunt and still remain to this date May 2009
outstanding. Due to this Tamzin could not pay her murderer the extremely large sum he demanded (many
tens of thousands of pounds) which doubled each week it was late. This money was to be paid on
Tamzin’s birthday to finally leave Tamzin & our family alone after the six years of violence,
death threats and previous murder attempts. ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Horses and ponies were what Tamzin’s life was all about and Tamzin had
just purchased further miniatures for her breeding program and had planned to purchase more. We had
just given Tamzin three fields for her ponies and she had bought a new trailer for them days before
she was murdered. Tamzin had setup her own prefix and had registered with estate agents as she had
planned to purchase her own land for her stud.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ One of Tamzin's mares was due to foal a few days after she died. Tamzin was
looking forward so much to this foal being born as it was from two blood lines she knew would
produce a wonderful result. This was to be her first foal under her own prefix. The foal was born a
week after Tamzin died and has now been named Tribute (as a tribute to Tamzin).♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin grew up with horses all around her. She started riding when she was
just 18 months old in a basket saddle on the Shetland pony we bought for her, who is still going
strong and is now 41 years old.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin worked as a competition groom in the Leicester / Melton area which
was a job she enjoyed very much and she also enjoyed meeting some of the most famous names in the
horse jumping world. Tamzin twice enrolled at Moulton College to gain qualifications to further her
career in the equine industry. She made many friends who all had the same intense love of horses as
Tamzin did. She was always friendly and full of fun and just wanted to enjoy life as much as she
could.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin loved her ponies with all her heart and had planned to setup a
school specialising in riding for the disabled so she could help unfortunate children and give
something back to the community. She researched this project to its full extent as this was
extremely important to her as she wanted to see the fun and enjoyment the ponies would give disabled
children and help them overcome disabilities with the therapy that the ponies gave.♥
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin was an extremely talented girl who would fight to the bitter end in
what she believed in. When Tamzin put her mind to something she could make it happen with her shear
grit and determination!♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin has left behind her mother Dorothy, father Michael, brother Mark,
sister Yasan and her miniature horses who all miss her very much. We are desperately trying to come
to terms with Tamzin's murder. Her sister Yasan was expecting her first baby in December 2008 and
Tamzin was looking forward to becoming an aunt. She had so many plans, all of which were easily
obtainable with her talent and enthusiasm.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ In Hand showing of ponies was one of Tamzin’s most enjoyable interests
which she was extremely successful at throughout her life. At the tender age of 15, Tamzin had won
many, many championships and at the 1998 UK-USA horse show Tamzin beat all the other 770 horses
winning the champion of all champions in the show. Tamzin showed the miniatures all over Britain and
won championship after championship (some of the cups and trophies can be seen on Michael Spalding's
garden). When we left the show grounds in our horsebox we would always play “We are the
Champions” by Queen (the song playing now) at full volume and all the family, friends and helpers
in the horsebox would sing along at the top of our voices celebrating that we had won the
championships again! Tamzin had a lovely rare talent with ponies and will be deeply missed by the
Equine fraternity, her animals, her family and all her many friends.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Two days before Tamzin was murdered; she rescued a stray cat and named him
Socks as he has four white socks. He now lives happily with us and constantly reminds us of Tamzin's
love for all animals.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ We miss our daughter more than words can describe; her happy smiling face,
funny laugh and her fantastic ability to make friends and enjoy life wherever she was.♥
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Rest in Peace Tamzin, we know you are watching over and looking after us.
You are in our thoughts all the time, we will never ever forget you Tamzin and we will treasure your
memory for the rest of our lives! ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin is also featured on the family website for the Tanzivan Stud when
she was younger. http://www.spotted-pony.com ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥. The day after the first anniversary of Tamzin’s death I was feeling
rather tearful while looking after all of our & Tamzin’s ponies. It was 10:30 at night with a
clear evening sky with the stars showing. While looking up I said in a loud voice “Where are you
Tamzin, which star are you?” at that precise moment a shooting star appeared and quickly shot
across the night sky. This reassured me that Tamzin heard me and was ok in heavens garden. This has
given me such a wonderful feeling as what better way could Tamzin's spirit have answered my
question?” ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
The good die young... Rest in Peace Tamzin
i knew tamzin from a friend and we got on instantly... she was amazing girl and i would like to pay my respects and condolences...
May u rest in peace girl and keep shining up there like u always did...
Rest in Peace T...
Always in my memory
I met Tamzin on my first day in Pope John and we were firm friends for the next 7 years until the day that we left. We had some really good times both in school and also waiting for the Kingswood school bus back home.
Tamzin was an extremely talented artist, cook and also was brilliant with horses. I admired her for all of these as I could never understand light and shading or cooking times and am terrified of horses!
Everytime I drive past Pope John or through Cottingham or think of school Tamzin is one of the main features in my mind.
You are at peace now and no-one can hurt you anymore
take care and will see you again one day

Tamzin I am so sorry
I met Tamzin through ponies initially and instantly hit it off with her and her family - thats the sort of family they are - they get along with everybody they are unconditionally kind; loving and giving they welcome their friends into the core of their life. Within a few weeks of knowing them I felt that I belonged! If only there were more people in this world like you and family Tamzin tragedies like this would be few and far between!
I have read the other tributes and the words echo my memories. Tamzin did light up the room and yes she could get on with people because she inherited the family trait of genuinely caring for others.
Another talent Tamzin inherited from Dorothy was an amazing gift with the horses. Every time I look at my three Tanzivan mares I hear Dorothy's words Right; Straight and Correct - thats what they breed - perfect ponies everytime. Tamzin had just started her own breeding programme, she visited me last September and she was so full of life, energy and enthusiasm - it was so good to see and I really believed the that she was getting over the traumatic few years that had preceeded. She was still afraid, but in true Tamzin style she had picked herself up, brushed her self down and she was starting all over again. She was so optimistic and had such dynamic plans and I know that she was capable of achieving her aim.
I am so glad you came to me to discuss your plans with us Tamzin and I am so sorry that when you called me again a week or two later and begged me to come to Burghley I couldn't cancel my plans - I didn't think it mattered - I thought we had loads of time to do things together again.
I'd give anything to be able to go with you this year.
I remember the good old days when you were so happy and carefree. We shared such good times, sitting in the field overnight foaling, rescuing the ponies from the 1998 floods, bathing the ponies and getting them ready for shows and most of all starting work with your beloved Amber. we such good times Tamzin, you were alot younger than me and you had such an innocence about you, but at the same time you taught me so much. I will never forget you. Rest in Peace babe. Lots of Love Yvonne
Bye bye beautiful
I met Tamzin whilst working in the dreaded Tower call centre and we got on immediately keeping each other amused through long tedious days.
The last time I saw her was at my leaving do before going travelling, she came along even though she knew no one and by the end of the night she knew everyone becausde she was the kind of girl who could get on with anyone.
While I was away she joined my sister Mia at Moulton college and they also became good friends.
We re-contacted through facebook (as you do) but never got round to the reuniting drink we promised eachother. Sorry.
Rest in peace Tamzin
