Bieber tribute plea goes global
ON THE HUNT
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A 58-year-old woman has died from head injuries she suffered in a horse riding accident in south Langley on Monday. It’s believed the victim, described as an experienced horsewoman, was thrown from the horse she was riding, said Langley RCMP. The accident took place around 4 p.m. at Keenebridge Farm at 375 232 Street. People on the farm found the woman and called 911. She was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital by air ambulance where she was pronounced dead, said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Several horse racing websites have confirmed that the victim is Shauna Ferguson, a longtime Hastings Racetrack owner and trainer. On themanestreet.com forum, one person said “Shauna was an incredible horsewoman, having spent her lifetime working with Thoroughbred race horses . . . she was involved in a freak accident while ponying a young two year old thoroughbred off of her pony . . . Shanua gave it all to her craft.” Another person wrote that Hastings Park has lost another true horseman and friend. She wrote that Shauna had “patience, and a soft manner with her horses, brought out the best in her equine competitors.”

A social media campaign to catch the attention of Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has spread across the globe. On Wednesday, a pair of Australian women joined in the effort — called Taylor’s Beliebers — to have the world famous singer pay tribute to their cousin, Taylor Steyn, who was killed in a Surrey car crash on Good Friday. Jenna and Julianne Behr posted a YouTube video — which joins another posted earlier this week by Steyn’s friend Jake Vandermeer — asking the singer to dedicate a performance of My Girl by the Temptations to their cousin’s memory. Before she died, Julianne said, Steyn had planned to get a tattoo of lyrics from the song on her ribs. The line “I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day” perfectly captured her life, Julianne said, describing Steyn as having “an ever-optimistic bright smile and infectious laugh. “She was absolutely obsessed with Justin Bieber, a quirk which many of us didn’t understand.” “As funny as it sounds, she was a 21-year-old that had a bucket list that involved Justin Bieber,” said Jenna.
