In Memorium: Paul Cohen
|
We are incredibly sad to announce that Paul H. Cohen, 62, of Westminster Maryland passed away on May 20, 2020 after a long illness.
After graduating with a degree in Business and Finance from Unv. Of Miami in 1980, and spending time crewing a skipjack in the Chesapeake Bay, Paul joined the family insurance business in Baltimore that had been in founded by his grandfather in 1955. In 2004, Paul purchased Associations Underwriters Inc/Ziplow Horse insurance from the family and struck out on his own. |

Though Paul’s business ranged over all equestrian sports and disciplines, his support of Hanoverian breeders began without peer, and grew exponentially over time, sponsoring many local Hanoverian club interests, and expanding to the National level. What started in 2004 with some class sponsorships of the Mid-Atlantic Hanoverian Breeders Club Inc. (MAHB) Mare Show classes, quickly grew from there to include MAHB inspection competitor parties and Hanoverian Sales Fests. In 2007, he conceived the AUIZHI/MAHB-Bred Awards, and was the sole sponsor of $2000 in annual prizes at Dressage at Devon distributed to the top MAHB-breds in the breed show, and to their current owners. He continued this important program until the sale of his business in 2015 due to health reasons. His generosity continued as one of the founding sponsors with contributions to national level ALL-AMERICAN HANOVERIAN YOUNG DRESSAGE HORSE AWARDS, a contribution he sustained for years.
Paul’s assistance to all things AHS didn’t stop with monetary contributions. He attended so many Hanoverian functions including local inspections, Sales Fests, the Breed Show days at Dressage at Devon, stallion tests, and AHS Annual Meetings all over the US. He was always willing to lend a hand, whether as a certified Emergency Medical Technician, moving jumps for a MPT, or serving as Hanoverian cheerleader extraordinaire.
In addition to all this, Paul was a tireless volunteer at home in Maryland, giving back to his local community of Westminster as an EMT/Firefighter and volunteer to numerous civic organizations and scholarship efforts.
Paul will be so very missed.

SPS Galaxis - a 1989 imported States Premium Hanoverian mare by Ganymed/Black Sky xx/Wohlstand. Galaxis is pictured here at the age of 14 with her ribbon for Overall Reserve Champion Mare at the Mid-Atlantic Hanoverian Breeders Club Mare Show in the fall of 2003. She was pregnant at the time by Landkoenig. At the time, I was leasing the mare from Kasey Nesbitt and eventually bought her a year or so later. I loved that mare...
George Walker was one of the judges and commented on this mare's modern type already from a decade plus prior (before “modern” was fashionable). Mary Lou Winn’s mare was champion (from Suzanne Quarles’s breeding program). I’m thinking that this may have been one of the first years of the “Mare Show”. ~ Rick Toering, MAHB Member
