About Us

Introducing MR ED

Our History – Founded by Dean Markham, MR ED was established in response to customer demand to meet the community’s need for a dignified and respectful farewell for beloved horses and other farm animals.

Dean is a 4th generation resident of the Macedon Ranges, has 30 years as a professional machine operator in the earthmoving industry and resides in Gisborne.

Over the years, we have supported countless owners through the loss of a cherished companion, offering reliable service, understanding, and professional care during this difficult time. 

We recognize the deep bond you share with your horse and are here to assist with compassion and respect across the Greater Macedon Ranges.

At MR ED, we are committed to:

  • Respectful and caring service: We approach each situation with empathy, ensuring your horse is treated with dignity and care.
  • Timeliness and professionalism: Understanding the sometime urgency of these circumstances, we can be on site promptly or as required to ensure appropriate service.
  • A tailored approach: We listen to your needs and requests and can offer personalized service accordingly.
