What happened to Jessica Forsyth?

Her parents have a bit of an idea..

They think she was jumping Boomer when no one was around. When they were doing this, Boomer was hyper that day and wanting to run with the other horses in the pasture. When they jumped, he bolted and she was trying to run him into the fence, (If you go to Youtube, and type in "Why i don't release more Jessboomer") You can see the video of this happening. This is most likely what happened on the day of Jessica's death (February 6th, 2008.) But when she tried to run him in to the fence, he tried to jump it, obviously, the fence was a bit high and Boomer did not make it. He went over the fence (With Jessica on his back.) And he came down and crushed Jess's skull and broke her neck. Jessica died instantly. They found Jessica a while later with bruises on her hands, showing that Jessica was pulling hard on the reins. A little while after that, they found Boomer about 300 feet away from Jessica. Someone was at the barn with Jess. Her parents made it very clear she did not ride with no one being there. (They also said that, even if someone was there, it wouldn't stop anything, but knowing the truth.) They also had said, Thankyou to Jessica for documenting her life otherwise, they wouldn't even have any idea about her death. They said that she had (30 pictures that day, i think.) and 6 videos. They last video, was her riding away form the camera, they think her camera died, but when she rode back (if she could) She would notice that her camera had died. (Jessica always had extra batteries with her.) They also thank everyone for their support.
