Information from Huffington post, People magazine, obituary, and memorial site.
 
 
Jessica loved horses and everything equestrian. Watched horse movies, read horse books, drew horse pictures, wrote horse stories. She was promised her very own horse when she turned 10. Jessica started riding in 2011 on a pony named "Waffles". In her first competition, she won a blue ribbon. Jessica and Waffles were going to go far. Jessica asked for cowgirl boots and a cowgirl hat for Christmas. Jessica had two younger brothers and she was the "CEO" of the family. Jessica, first born in the family, "was our rock," the parents said. "She had an answer for everything, she didn't miss a trick, and she outsmarted us every time." A thoughtful planner, she was "our little CEO." - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/ns/obituary.aspx?pid=161726367#sthash.mquBo45k.dpuf
 
PONY RIDES FOR JESSICA is devoted to keeping Jessica's love of horses and riding alive by working closely with her parents to give underprivileged children two special gifts, the relationship between horse and rider and the relationship between student and instructor.
 
 
 
 
On November1st, I will have the cowboy boots that my son received from Santa when he was 5 out by the fire with us in Jessica Rekos' memory.
 
On May 10th, I will do something for Pony Rides for Jessica.
