Steph Lees, 42, couldn't bear being without horse of ten years, Jake, after he was put down, her grieving parents said. More…
Ms Lees – who started riding at the age of ten – died on November 9, the day after Jake was put down. More…
Mum Jo Lees said: "Steph couldn't bear to be parted from Jake and made a decision to join him.
"Jake had become lame about 18-months ago and Steph spent much of her spare time looking after him and trying to get him fit."
Dad John said: "Its been horrendous. She just wanted to join him which is in some ways a happy thing, but also very sad."
"The horse was her life."
The grieving couple said Steph, who was unmarried with no children and lived in Cawthorne, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was a caring and generous woman who always smiled and waved at people while she was out riding.
Steph became interested in horseriding on a family holiday and then asked for her own horse. She started riding at the age of ten before taking part in local shows and competitions, UK Mirror reports.
