Lacey Jamieson, a sixteen year old equestrian from St. Thomas, died on Sunday of Oct. 13, 2013. Doctors are coming to the conclusion that Lacey had a rare blood disease called Hemaphagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, commonly known as HLH. According to her parents and close friends, this rare disease suddenly struck Lacey, and she was transported to the hospital a couple days before, only to pass away on Sunday. 

Lacey's trainer and friends from the barn that she was currently riding at that time are devastated because of her loss, and Lacey will never be forgotten. According to her trainer Julie Claus and friend Tabitha Peltier, Lacey had a close connection with horses and that fate had brought her to the world of competitive show jumping and competitions. Lacey was born with a gift, and she showcased that off to the world, becoming famous through her YouTube channel and her Instagram, where she gained 64,000 followers and supporters who cheered her on every day.  

Whether she posted a video of her training at home or taking pictures of herself and her horses, Lacey's fearless spirit touched others from all across the globe. Ever since her death, Lacey's instagram followers along with others have been sending out tributes to this wonderful girl, saying that she has inspired them to believe in themselves and live out their dreams. 

"I am really sad one of my biggest inspirations died," claimed one of Lacey's instagram followers. Although Lacey's family had no idea that Lacey was such a big inspiration to both teens and new equestrians, they become aware of exactly how many people looked up to her when Lacey suddenly jumped up to 79,000

followers since her death.
