Shasta Jameson-Green Death & Obituary: It is with profound sadness that we share the heart-wrenching news of the tragic loss experienced by Shasta and Nick, two remarkable individuals who have been pillars of support in the horse community. On a routine trip home from a high school rodeo, their family faced an unimaginable tragedy when their RV suffered a mechanical failure, causing the horse trailer to tip off a cliff. In the chaos, they lost three beloved horses: Poco, 45, and Doug. While the family is physically unharmed, the emotional toll of losing these cherished animals is overwhelming.

The Horses and Their Impact
The three horses were not just animals; they were part of the family. Each one had a deep and unique bond with the family members, especially their children. Poco was Emerald’s heart horse, a companion with whom she shared a special connection and planned to take to college for future rodeo dreams. 45, a gentle soul adored by everyone, was especially close to Willow and taught her so much about the joy of riding. Doug, a dream barrel horse who had been diagnosed with EPM, was a testament to perseverance. For Emerald, Doug was not just a competitor but a beloved partner who overcame challenges together.
The loss of these three animals, who had been integral to their family’s life and dreams, has created an irreplaceable void. The grief is compounded by the fact that their horses were not insured, and the financial burden is immense, as the family grapples with funeral costs and other unexpected expenses.
A Call for Support
To help the family recover from this tragedy, a GoFundMe campaign has been established. This fundraising effort is not just about covering the financial costs but also about showing support for a family that has always been there for others in the horse community. Shasta, Nick, and their children are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support they have already received, but the road ahead will be difficult, and every contribution—whether large or small—will make a difference.
The emotional weight of losing these horses goes beyond the financial strain. These animals were not just means of transportation or competition; they were companions, teachers, and partners in the dreams and aspirations of the family. Their loss has deeply affected the entire household, especially their children, who are now left without the horses who had shaped their rodeo and riding experiences.
Honoring the Memory of Poco, 45, and Doug
While Shasta, Nick, and their children mourn, they find comfort in knowing their horses will always be remembered for the roles they played in their lives. Poco, 45, and Doug may no longer be with them physically, but their spirits live on in the memories of the family. The love they brought into their lives will never be forgotten, and their contributions to the dreams and passions of their young riders will be cherished forever.
