Jessica was a remarkable young woman who had a special bond with animals. She was an accomplished equestrian who loved riding & jumping her beloved bay Appendix Quarter Horse "Boomer". On February 6 she was riding him at Shandoni Ranch (near Sacramento) when something went horribly wrong and she was killed.

She was 14 when she left her earthly body, yet her spirit and memory live on through the countless photos and videos that demonstrate what a special person she was.

There is a Jessica Forsyth Memorial fund. She is further immortalized through videos, which she had posted throughout her too few years.

Her beloved horse Boomer now lives at Moonrock Ranch in Roseville, CA.

Fourteen-year-old Jessica Forsyth of Roseville was known for her love of animals.

But the Roseville High School freshman's life was cut short on Wednesday as she was riding a horse in a field in Elverta.

The Sacramento County Coroner's Office said Jessica, who was wearing a helmet, was found on the ground with head trauma believed caused by a horse falling on her.
Jessica's student friends from Roseville and Woodcreek high schools are encouraged to wear their school colors or sports uniforms at the vigil in a show of unity, said family friend Leilani Kinzler.

Lang recalled Jessica as a "spitfire" who had boundless energy. She also marveled at Jessica's ability to teach animals to do tricks.

Jessica also taught her horse, Boomer, how to smile.
