Update on Emma
We are heartbroken to report that Emma is no longer with us. Please watch the heartfelt message from Pat as he shares what happened.
These images were captured during last week’s play session with Grandpa Jack.
He was thrilled with her progress saying:
“I can’t believe this is the right horse, I kept looking at her making sure I had Emma with me. She does everything I ask.
Today she put all 4 feet on the pedastal, went in to the pond up to her knees, jumped all the logs, she was just great”
Please keep Grandpa Jack in your thougths, and the team on the Florida campus who all touched her in some way. She leaves a huge hole in all of our hearts.
So sad. Run free Emma. Big hug for you Grandpa Jack xxx
Grandpa Jack, you have become such an inspiration to me in so ways to numerous to mention.
Sending love and sympathy to you and all those who were a part of Emma’s recovery and growth. I know she is waiting for you beyond the rainbow bridge….
Glad she was able to receive the love and understanding she deserved and had a good home even if it were short lived. Being malnourished in her previous short life probably didn’t help her bones.
Prayers over everyone involved…no words…God Bless…
So sorry. Sending a gentle {{HUG}} to Grandpa Jack. Praying for your peace, comfort and courage.
Don’t feel sad for she’s not gone
When you here the wind you will here her song
Say farewell but feel no sorrow
For time on this earth we only borrow.
God bless xx
Sending a hug and warm thoughts to Grandpa Jack. You’ll always have the time you spent with Emma in your heart; thank you for sharing her with us.
I am so sorry!! Thank you for sharing the journey with Emma and Grandpa Jack. I had to put two of my four horses to sleep this past spring. So difficult and heart breaking. Thoughts and prayers for you.
Nothing more to be said – but prayers for all involved. I can’t even imagine how devastating this is.
Emma was able to reach her potential and feel confident and loved, thanks to Grandpa Jack and the Parelli’s. Sending you all condolences for your loss. We hope to see Grandpa Jack and his marvelous work again soon— as soon as he’s ready.
Yes, tragedy hits us all one time or another, but that never prepares us for the heartbreak. I’m so very sorry.
Oh man, just heart wrenching. We are so blessed to see such love and compassion and it touches all of us who follow someone’s partnership journey.
Love and warm hugs Grampa Jack.
Sorry for your loss.
What happened? The video doesn’t work. So I’m not able to get the update. Sounds like something bad. So sorry. 🙁
Hi Paula,
It’s heartbreaking to share that Emma slipped and broke her leg and had to be euthanized.
How fortunate was she to have known such love before she passed, my heartfelt thoughts are with you all xx
So very sorry…
So sad It always had to lose a great little horse.
Such a short packed memory box, but Remember all the love you gave her, and returned to you…. doesn’t make it easier I guess, but perhaps “Mr Troy H” could be caring for her now also.
Love and hugs to Grandpa Jack. Wonderful man, inspiration to us all. Thank you Pat for taking the time to document all to us especially the so sad farewell.
So sorry ☹️
That’s the worst part of having horses, having to make the hard decision at the right time. Run Free, Emma, and a huge HUG to Grampa Jack, and everyone.
Dear Grandpa Jack, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Emma was so sweet. I hope you will continue to rescue and help horses. I’m glad she had you there for her. I’ve lost some horses too and and I believe that I’ll reunite with them in heaven as with our loved ones. You are an inspiration to me . I wish I could give you a hug.
