Lacey May Jamieson died 13 months ago at the age of 16. She suffered from a rare blood disease, known as HLH, which, in the end, claimed her beautiful soul. Lacey was a role model to thousands of people, some equestrians, and some not. On Instagram (@laceyjamieson), Lacey has over 130,000 followers. 130,000 living, breathing people who wake up every morning to see what inspirational act Lacey has done again. Sadly, 130,000 people will never get to do that anymore. When Lacey died, a part of the equestrian world disappeared with her; a void that can never be filled. On a post announcing Lacey's passing, 33,000 people commented in 10 minutes. Most reactions were of utter shock and disbelief that a beloved idol and inspiration had tragically passed way before her time.To commemorate Lacey's legacy and the profound effect she has had on my life, as well as thousands of other's lives, I have designed these riding tights in her memory and up most honor. Lacey May Jamieson's favorite color was blue, hence the color palette. Also, she was, without a doubt, a true horse woman, hence the blue accent horse shoes. The remaining tight is black to symbolize that the color black is compromised of all of the colors known to man; like how Lacey was a role model to hundreds of thousands of equestrians. These riding tights are for, that when a rider gets in the saddle, they can have a piece of "Lacey's Legacy" galloping in the wind beside them.

The design process for these tights is moving forward steadily as I refine the details to honor Lacey properly. The continued interest in this project confirms that her impact remains strong within our community. I am currently coordinating with partners to ensure that the donation process for HLH research is transparent and effective.

I loved her so much. She stuck by me for the longest time when i went through a rough patch in life. This would be amazing if we could have these breeches as a legacy for her. Plus a % of the money going toward a cause is an even more of a reason to do it as well.

A worthy cause in memory of a brave young equestrian & a lovely young woman, whose life should have just been starting to really blossom, yet was cut so very, very short by this rare blood disease. Sign today & show your support!

I think about Lacey everyday. I know she's watching us all and helping to guide us. I have my pin on my backpack and once summer comes I'm moving it over to my saddle pad. I would love to have something like breeches to wear in memory of Lacey <3

I didn't know her but she taught me so much. I know now that I can't give up on myself and I will always have my horse. I want a bond like she had. She will always be in my heart and I would be incredibly proud to wear these pants. Miss her

I honestly loved Lacey. Her account is wonderful. She was a big inspiration to people. She gave people not only the strength to stand up to bullies but also to overcome fears. She taught so many riders how to be at home in their skin and truly love themselves.
