Remembering an Equestrian

I came across this video on YouTube.com by accident.  When I read the title my heart dropped.  By the information from friends, she died when she tried to jump her horse “Boomer” over a 4′ or 5′ arena fence panel.  Boomer did not make it over, flipping and landing on Jessica.  A young girl taken too soon.  My heart goes out to the family and friends.  May you soar with the horses of the heavens.  Rest In Peace Jessica Forsyth.

    How incredibly tragic to lose such a talented young girl. What an amazing job she did with that horse. It’s so easy to be overconfident when we’re young and feel like we can do anything. If she can jump picnic tables and wheelbarrows and four and half foot obstacles, why not try the unmovable, unforgiving fence too? I know firsthand what it feels like to lose a good friend unexpectedly and tragically like this. My heart goes out to Jessica’s friends and family. I’m sure their heads are all filled with “if onlys,” and that is a hard place to be.

    She was my friend
    I used to talk to her
    and I always made pictures of Boomer and her on photoshop
    She was so nice and no one will ever forget her <3

Every day a great horse is born and everyday a great horse is forgotten. With every hour, day and month spent in the presence of a great horse, we barrow the depths to our hearts and the keys to secret abiss. We are granted the oppurtunity to learn, view and share a gift with a special animal that lives in a special world, far from the travels of the beaten path, that is often over-looked.
Ink is a 2000 ex-racer gelding who this blog was started for and inspired by. It is written by his owner Keri and highlights his life through their work and their relationship with one very special Arabian mare.
