In Memory of Edward Howard Minchin, Jr.
The Reining Horse Foundation and NRHA mourn the passing of Edward “Ed” Howard Minchin, Jr. on March 3, 2025.
Ed Minchin, most recently resided in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Born and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, Ed, served two years in the United States Navy before managing the family car business, New England Motors, and pursuing his lifelong passion for horses.
More than a horseman, Ed loved his country, was a respected patriarch, a mentor, and a friend who lived life with unbridled enthusiasm. His legacy is not just in the horses he trained or the land he cultivated, but in the many lives he touched, the memories he created, and the love he shared so generously.
Ed is survived by his loving wife Parker Haynes Minchin. His full obituary and service arrangements can be found here.
In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the Reining Horse Foundation Crisis Fund.
If mailing a check, put “In Memory of Ed Minchin” in the memo section. If you donate online through the link, it will notify RHF that your gift is in memory of Ed. Your gift will be acknowledged.
