Anne Dunham
Oldest athlete, turned 68, a healthy stalwart,
She was thought to have MS, but it's dystonia,
Atlanta 1996, and in the individual did her part,
To win the bronze, but also won gold acre,
In the team open, and in Sydney’s millennium,
Yet again won gold for the team open event;
In Athens she continued to be neat and premium,
Taking the gold again in the cogent team tent,
Then in Beijing’s fixture she won two solid golds,
For the test grade la and also in the team folds,
When her horse was Teddy Edwards groomed:
From age 16 she’s worked in a stable - consumed.
Anne won gold at Rio in the mixed team dressage,
And took silver in the individual freestyle corsage.
