At Green River Farm, the low flying flag out front doesn't begin to describe the hole in Joel Mobley's heart. "She made this place, she sure did," the farm owner says of his fiance, Randi Hogan. "She could ride around the farm now and still see her glow all over the place. She didn't have to build nothing, she was just a part of everything." Hogan came to the farm a year ago, with a heart for horses and a spirit few could forget. "She took the toughest horses here, and turn them into gentle lambs in a few weeks," says friend Paul Wright.
The 26 year old went for a ride Monday afternoon on the Gaffney farm, and friends say, something went very wrong. "She just took it out, and we don't really know what happened," says friend Michelle Ford. "The horse got tangled up in a fence, that she herself had taken down." The horse Luby had ridden so many times fell and crushed her. Friends held a small memorial service Tuesday night. They say Luby may have only been at the farm for a year, but she leaves a lasting legacy. "There will be a hole in my heart that won't soon heal," says Wright. Mobley says he may never have answers, but he's holding on to one small comfort. "She died doing what she loved."
