I have very little experience with horses, but at least to me, an ankle-length skirt does NOT sound like a garment suitable for riding a horse in.
Also, there's a decent amount of wild/feral horses in the Southwest. It's possible the horse bones could be from a wild horse that died in the area.

Yeah Imo the horse isn't related to her at all

Weird coincidence that a wild or stray horse just so happened to die on top of her remains. How decomposed was the horse? MOO.

I wonder if whoever left her body there just happened to see the dead horse, or knew the dead horse was there, and purposely put it on top of her body as a way to conceal it.

Namus says that the remains of the horse where found near the body not on top of it

Probably nothing, but could she be a grown up Anthonette Cayedito? Gallup, NM, from where she went missing at age 9, is not that far from the Gila River Indian reservation. Approx. 5 hours. She would have been the right age (Namus still lists this Jane Doe between 17 - 20) Cayedito was born on December 25, 1976, to Penny Cayedito (1952–1999), a Navajo Native American, and Anthony Montoya (1951–2012), a father of Italian and Hispanic descent. The mother had a relation to Gila. From the references on wikipedia (I know not a official source) "Teresa Or Penny Cayedito, 1999; citing Payson, Gila, Arizona, United States)

I know I am very late to this thread, but I just came across it while looking for something else. I thought this post wondering if the Gila River Reservation Jane Doe could be Anthonette Cayedito and didn't really see any follow-up here. I haven't had a chance to do much more research, but I did look at GRR Jane Doe's NAMUS and Anthonette is NOT listed as a rule out. Does anyone know if this was ever considered and/or submitted.

I especially found this possible comparison interesting because there were several posts here and elsewhere questioning her race/heritage, with some mentioning white, hispanic, native american, asian, etc and Anthonette is listed here as being biracial - "American Indian and White, of Italian descent". IMO if this is her it could be one of the reasons there has been so much speculation/confusion about GRR Jane Doe's race/heritage.

I found it very ironic that this age-progressed picture shows Anthonette wearing a dark blue/black shirt with what appears to be white polka dots when the description of the clothing worn by the GRR Jane Doe is a blouse and/or skirt/shorts (depending on which site you are looking at) that is black with white polka dots. WIERD COOINCIDENCE?!
