Thankyou Emma Louise 1972 - 2004

[bladek9]

In January this year during a 42 deg day I lost my beautiful mare Emma. She was 32 years old. I had her since she was 2 yrs old. Emma was a black bay with large white star. My ' black beauty '.

She was bought for me by my grandparents( deceased ) to help me through my parents divorce. I had just hit my teens.

I had taught her tricks when she was 4 yrs old. She would open her lips and kiss me right on the face for bread & she could shake hands on cue. She still did these tricks till the day she died. Every kid around the area knew old Emma.

Its hard when you lose a little piece of your youth. When she died I felt like a piece of my life was gone forever............

I WANT TO THANK YOU EMMA.............................

For being my childhood wish come true.

For teaching me & my little sister how to ride

For keeping me on track during adolescence when a lot of friends went off the rail. When it came to boys & horses....I chose horses

For allowing me to witness the joy of birth for the first time when you produced not 1 but 2 foals at once

For giving me a good excuse to skip school now & then &

for occupying me afternoons,weekends, holidays. I lived & breathed you.

Enjoy your retirement in horse heaven!
