MALVERN, Pa.--Saunders Dixon, 96 of Malvern, died peacefully on Sunday, Feb. 11.
He was at home comfortably surrounded by his three dogs and wife of 32 years, Sallie.
Born March 5th,1928, he will be missed by many; his family, friends, and the Thorncroft community as welll as the Thorncroft Farm he started and nurtured for over 50 years.
A Quaker, pacifist, father, husband, teacher, and always true to his ‘north star’, his moral compass never wavered.
In his office he welcomed parents, riders and visiting friends who could be found in conversation about absolutely anything; sharing spirited opinions or sitting in silence.
His larger-than-life self was a presence in the barn where his knowledge of horses and horsemanship were respected and welcomed.
Watching him in the arena or quietly walking around his Farm with a rider, you would feel his presence.
