Horses were her life. When everything else seemed to be going wrong, when she felt she had no where else to turn, she found peace in them.
My time with her was far to short but, something I know without question is that whatever the world threw at her it was never so much that her horses couldnt make her smile. The sanctuary they gave may have been temporary but it was one she could always find.
All her life she felt the ocean calling her & the last four years she finaly was able to live her dream, to be near the ocean and work with horses. She lived in Florida 10 minutes from the ocean she loves, was going to college to be a marine biologist, (to care for & protect her beloved ocean just as she did everything she loves)she worked so hard & gave all of herself to whatever she did; its one reason she was so amazing, so perfect at ecerything she did. She was so gifted. As she finaly realized another dream, that of training, working & riding horses professionaly. She loved her students & tought them compassion for horses. A compassion, a love, a gentle understanding & grateful hand you had to see to believe & still there were times you just couldnt comprehend what was going on between her and the horses.... Amazing!
I love you Jodi, I mis you more than you could have ever known. See you soon my angel.
