Mr. and Mrs. Cox. I too, just finished watching Free Rein several minutes ago. I also saw the memorial at the end of the movie for your beautiful angel, Arianna. I watched her ride and she reminds me of me at Arianna’ s age. I am a horse lover from Wisconsin. My heart breaks for your loss. Arianna passed trying to save a horse, a selfless act for such a young lady. I am so thankful I was able to own horses. What a magical experience you provided your little angel. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God bless your family.

Greetings. I just watched Texas Rein and saw the tribute to Arianna at the end. My heart breaks for you, since as a parent It is something we all pray we will never have to experience. You are in my prayers because I know even though time has passed, it’s something that never goes away. The movie was a beautiful memorial, I commented in the middle how nice it was to watch a show that incorporated God and prayer!
Godbless,

I was made aware of Arianna's untimely death in 2011. Please know the family are in my prayers today. My family lost a child in 1997. He was 17 years old. By the grace of God, we have been able to move forward, but we still miss him and think of him daily, when certain things occur, and he comes to mind because he is always in our hearts. Praying for the Cox family and understanding the ache...blessings come as well, we just need to stop and recognize them and know they are blessed assurance that God is in control.

Bonjour la famille COX. Je viens de regarder ce film, Texas Rein, qui m'a beaucoup ému d'ailleurs, et à la fin, l'hommage fait à votre fille m'a donné envie de savoir qui elle était et je suis tombé sur cette page. Je suis sincèrement navrée de sa disparition si précoce et même si cela fait maintenant 10 ans, je tenais à vous écrire car cela m'a beaucoup touché et je sais que perdre un enfant est juste horrible et qu'on n'oublie jamais. Gardez dans vos curs que Dieu n'abandonne jamais ses enfants, et que même dans les situations les plus difficiles a supporter, il est là pour nous, à côté de nous et prend soin de nous (même si on ne s'en rend pas toujours compte).
Jésus a vaincu la mort et votre fille aussi soyez-en certains. Je vous souhaite une bonne continuation et que Dieu vous garde en paix. Love.
Lise from Guadeloupe, French West Indies

Jenna and I are still trying to come to terms with the loss of Arianna. Jenna thought very highly of her and they had a very special relationship . You should be very proud of how Arianna touched the people she met. She will truly be missed and my heart aches for your family and what you are going through. Words just don't seem to be enough.
Marybeth Neagle

I had the honor of knowing Arianna through my daughter, her "adopted" older sister, Morgan Ricks. I was so happy they were friends, for the Holy Spirit & pure joy for life radiated from Arianna. In seeking comfort from the Word when hearing of this unthinkable tragedy, I opened my daily Bible. The Old Testament Scripture that day was from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (To everything, there is a season..."). For Believers, there are no coincidences. God is wonderous in His works & obviously has greater plans for Arianna beyond this world. We will surely miss her, but rejoice that she is home. Our prayers will continue to be with the Cox family. "You give and take away; Lord blessed be Your name..."

Doug & Susan -
My deepest condolences at the loss of little Arianna. May you feel God's comfort and love at this difficult time.
August 29, 2011
In my years as a 4-H leader, I have been touched by the little ones I am privileged to meet and watch as they spend time with their ponies. One show morning in June, our trailer was parked next to the one Arianna's pony was in. She and the other young girl and older woman who were with her that day gave me such joy, to witness the love between those three. Arianna's innocence and happiness were evident that day, and I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. My prayers are with you all, for her family and her 4-H family, who shared her joy and love of horses. She made a difference in so many lives.
