We at R & R Stables, would like you to know that she had a wonderful day on April 7, doing what she loved the most.  She had just taken delivery of a new car and then spent the afternoon with us at the barn, driving both of her horses, that she so loved ,for owners, Kathy and Kiley Lawrence and Becky Yockey outside in the field, enjoying the sunshine. She then pampered and groomed both horses, spoiling them in the stall as she always does.

Robert and I and Sarah were privileged to be with her on her last day.

Our industry has just lost a woman of great integrity, one of the most kind and the strongest woman I know.  We are so grateful that Margaret came into our lives, enriching us all with her zest and spirit for life and her great love for all the horses.  She will be greatly missed by us all at R & R Stables.
Margaret Cowgill joined the R & R Team in 2006.   She started out teaching as a teen-ager at her mother's summer school of horsemanship in north Missouri--where students would come in from all over the country and Canada, live several weeks on the farm and learn horsemanship. She holds an AA degree from Stephens College in Columbia where she was very active in the riding program--this department was headed and advanced to a national reputation by her mother, Annie Lawson Cowgill, when she was there for twelve years. Margaret then went on to get a BA degree from the University of Missouri.  Margaret has put many successful horses and riders in the show ring in all divisions and showed a five-gaited horse herself called The Beneficiary.This pair won very competitive five-gaited classes at large shows including The American Royal, St. Louis National Charity, Midwest Charity in Springfield, Ill. and the Tulsa Charity. Upon the death of her husband,  Margaret returned to teaching - she loved working with all age groups and her real contentment was in seeing a horse and rider grow and improve together. 

Sadly,

Robert, Rachalle and Natalie Stezovsky
