END OF AN ERA | New chapter | EMD Eventing Vlog 

😢😢😢 It really is the end of an era…. Proud of you for being so strong even it feels like you aren’t at the moment YOU ARE 💗 and you will smile lots again very soon 😘 I will ensure you do xx

Oh Em! I know this is the hardest choice you could have had to make. She's an incredible horse and a credit to you. I can't say the decision to part ways is surprising knowing the struggles Lola has with the jumping but I know she will go on to do very well and that she will always hold part of your heart. Seeing her say "goodbye" to sprite about broke my heart. Overall thank you for being an incredible mommy to her and so much love to you both as you start your new adventures. Also not much gets me to cry but the clips at the end put me in tears.

Bawling here. The right thing is often the hard thing, thank you for being brave enough to share your decision Emily. Lola’s new owner sounds lovely and whilst we know Lola will be fine it’s still a huge loss for you. Sending hugs 💗

Oh em I've cried all the way through this vlog with you, it's such an emotional time but you know you've made the right decision for you both to progress in what you both enjoy the most. Enjoy re watching all of your amazing videos that you've made of the years, plenty of 'memories' to treasure for a life time ❤ xxxx

Oh it’s heartbreaking to see the tears in your eyes while explaining your decision. I really hope it will work out for you both.

Oh man, I was not ready for this feels trip. Had a rough day today and absolute tears watching this. Your journey together has been an amazing one and thank you for taking us along for the ride

So proud of you and all the work you've ever done with Miss Lola xx sending you hugs. I cried the whole way but it was lovely to see how much she means to you as every vlog before this has done too. Xx wishing her all the best and all the best for you too xx

You’ve gave Lola the best start imaginable! I’ve loved following your journey and I cannot wait to continue to follow your journey wherever that may be, I’m glad you’ve found an amazing for Lola but I’m glad you’ve listened to what Lola has told you and done the right thing for the two of yous ❤️❤️

Emotional 😢 Sending so much love Em. She is so flipping gorgeous inside and out!! Bit like you tbh 😘 Got to focus on the next chapter now, it’s going to be sooo much fun xxx

Em I’m in floods of tears with you. True love when you put their happiness before your own though 💖

aww Em! This definitely made me cry - and your mum crying just tipped me over the edge! But as you say it's for the best and you've got the best people around you for support too. It's such a difficult thing to do, never mind vlogging it too! It allows people to see the (additional) emotions involved in having a horse so well done. Love you and chin up!

Sending lots of love to you and Spritey! I was in tears from the outset. Wishing Lola and her new owner plenty of happiness and success x

You literally had me in tears right from the beginning of this video 🥺 what an emotional journey the two of you have been on! Like you said, a mixture of highs & lows that any partnership has but the bond the two of you have and all the adventures you have been on together has been so lovely to watch. Even when you know it is the right decision, saying goodbye is never easy to anyone you love with your whole heart ♥️ Wishing Lola all the luck in the world in her new home which sounds perfect! Xx

I cried so so much, feel your pain, so so hard to say goodbye and you’ve had her such a long time and been through so much! But bittersweet. She has a great home- you can visit. I can’t wait to see what your next chapter brings xxx

Oh Em, I wasn’t expecting that and was crying as well! I wish you both all the best and I hope you find your eventing unicorn and Lola her loves her dressage buddy. Big hugs, it’s so hard XX

Didn’t expect to cry this evening 😢. Was very hard to watch you being so upset. Lola will be missed by loads! I wish her the best in her new home!

Oh my.. this was so emotional, sending love and hugs Em! So hard but you know deep down you have done the right thing for you and Lola. Xx

Oh goodness I’m proper ugly crying! Like you say, so lovely that you have all your vlogs to look back on all the many memories over the years. My heart goes out to you, as much as it may be the right decision for you it’s obvious how hard a decision it was too. I already am excited to see you reunited at a show or the like soon xxx

I noticed her advert while looking on a sales site a few weeks ago. It’s the end of an epic adventure for sure but you have set up miss Lola for success and taught her the skills she need to be an amazing horse for her future. You can be so proud of the horse she has become and thank her as you move towards the next chapter for yourself too x good Luck Lola in your new home. And sending hugs to you Em as you find your way onto the next stage of your equestrian journey x

Oh Em, I'm so sorry. I know it is not easy but the toughest decisions are often the best. It will get easier. It will get better. Take care of yourself and think of how proud you're going to be to see her out strutting her stuff. You produced an absolutely stunning horse.

Shamelessly sobbed the whole way through that. What a credit she is to you Em. Sometimes the hardest decisions are the right ones and it shows nothing but your love for Lola in the decision you’ve made. Sending you so much love and the biggest cuddle all the way from Essex ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god, I didn’t see that coming Emily. I actually cried watching this. It was heartbreaking seeing you struggle with saying goodbye to your gorgeous girl. I think we can all relate to how you must be feeling. But, what a brave decision to make, you are an amazing rider with a huge amount of talent, and will go far with the right horse. Good luck and I look forward to meeting your new horse, and watching your vlogs. Xx

I'm so sorry Emily, heartbreaking to see you in tears, you have done a amazing job with Lola, sending you hugs ❤ xx

It is so heart breaking to see you like this but you know in your heart that miss Lola wasn’t happy and chose the best thing for her in my mind you are the most amazing person which I have watched all your vologs with her saw the struggles you had with her but tried so hard to fix before you come to the hardest discussion were to sale her my tears run down my face watching this my heart ❤️ go’s out to you keep us informed on how you doing because I become very fond of you and your horses and your beautiful dog x

Omg I've been absolutely bawling the whole way through. My heart absolutely breaks for you, Emily, as I know the pain you are going through. 10 years ago we had to make the really difficult decision to sell my childhood pony and it was one of the hardest things that I've ever had to do, but it was what was best for both of us as we wanted to go in different directions like you and Miss Lola. Like a lot of people have said, the right thing is often the hardest thing to do. It's the absolutely endless love for her and selflessness that you have that gives someone the strength to make a decision that is best for the horse. You are brave for making this decision, and I know that things will look up. Thoughts with you, your family and Miss Spritey.

The tears are actually streaming down my face watching this. So long Lola, what an incredible journey you had together. Huge hugs Emily x

Absolutely bawling my eyes out! Youve done the best for her and you and im sure she will be so happy❤️

Oh gosh, heartbreaking for you Em! I have so much admiration for horse owners that are willing to put the horse first and make the hard decisions. Much luck wherever the future takes you!

Oh my, what an emotional one. Tears in my eyes which rolled the moment Spite whinnied when you got back. Wishing Lola all the best in her new home and such a brave decision you made! I know I was in pieces just having to think that moment may be looming for myself and my pony when we really struggled with major loading issues. What memories you have to look back on!

Oh Emily I don't think anyone can watch this vlog without being in tears 😢. Such a brave thing to do and not a easy decision that's for sure but totally the right thing for both of you . Have loved watching your journey together you have done an amazing job with miss lola❤ her dressage is so beautiful 😍 her new home sound's just perfect for her . Look forward to seeing your next journey 😀 . Thinking of you Emily lots of love . Xx

Such a hard decision to make and so sad, I cried all the way through with you. Had to make the same decision as you many years ago with my first pony and it broke my heart but was right for both of us, the boy I sold her too found me many years later and told me he kept my pony till the very end. The love and training you gave Lola has made her an amazing horse and she will excel in her new home. Stay strong and enjoy all the goods times you had with Lola. Good luck with your new adventure when you are ready to take it. Sending you love and hugs 🥰🥰🥰

Awwwww Emily, it must of been such a hard decision for you, bless your heart xxxx I know that good things will be in store for you, you’re too lovely for there not to be. Seeing you so upset was so hard and hearing how upset your mum was too, bless her. Sending you all lots of love and big hugs xxxx

This brought me to tears, as I feel the pain. You are such an amazing horsewoman, you are putting Lola first. I will look forward to seeing what is next for you and so glad you will be able to see Lola still too.

I cried through that entire vlog! She's such a lovely girl. I will miss seeing her on your vlogs, but I know that you've found her a wonderful dressage home and I know she will be well loved by her new Mum. So happy that you will be keeping in touch and visiting. You did an outstanding job with Lola and you should be so proud of yourself!

Oh Em, the fact you are so sad just confirms what a wonderful, good horse she is. Such a beautiful nature, and credit to you for making her that way. You will know you made the right decision when you see her success and happiness in her new home xx

My thoughts are with you! I wish the right decisions didn't have to hurt so much. I know Zoe will enjoy her so much and Lola will be happy and well taken care of. You've done right by her and she is a credit to all your care and hard work. All my love and support to you!

Your such a strong person Emily! You have done the right thing for both you and Lola in order to progress at what you do both do best, she has absolutely adored the past 8 years with you! From an unbroken 3 year old to dressage diva and eventing superstar, wow. You have produced some horse! Be proud of your self ❤️

Well I was in bits with you Em. We all love Lola so much and will miss her too.But she will be an amazing Dresssge Diva. You're absolutely right. And they were some beautiful moments that's you added. Thank you for sharing this with us. Love and wishes xx

Oh my. You got me started crying 😢. Bless, lola Is a stunning. I'm sure you'll see her around and like you said, be able to go and see her.. xx

Oh Emily! I wasn’t expecting to cry so much on this vlog! You’ve been a mega horse mum to her and she will smash her next adventure! Will miss you on the vlogs Miss Lola! Good luck pretty pony 😍💜

Omg Emily I’ve been in tears, I empathise with you so much🥺. I had to let my full loan pony go before we had him only had him almost two years but we just wanted different things. So so hard to part with a horse you love so much but trust me you are doing the right thing💗. Sending all my love to you ❤️

Im in floods of tears with you Emily! Such a hard decision for anyone to make and your so strong for the decision you’ve made! Sending love ❤️

❤️💜The most emotional part was knowing you could of kept her but you also wanted her to be the best she could so that's why you had to let her go

I’ve cried my way through this vlog with you (and your mum). Such a heartbreaking decision, but you know Lola best and what she’s happiest doing. Making the decision to sell her to a home where she will be able to thrive doing what she loves best shows how much you care about her. Sometimes the right thing is the hard thing to do; it takes strength to make that decision. I hope you’re all adjusting to life without her xx

My heart absolutely bleeds for you I’m in tears for you!! Good on you for putting both you and Lola’s needs and wants before anything else! Completely selfless and I am sure she will be eternally grateful for that and to you for everything you’ve done for her and given her! I nearly had to sell my pony a few years due to financial difficulties (I still probably should tbh but we won’t go in to that)!! I had one lady call up through word of mouth I hadn’t even properly advertised her yet and I was a mess! Ended up sending her 110 pics/ videos on WhatsApp as my short list of photos and I think she thought… this girl cannot sell this pony!! I can’t imagine how you must be feeling but take comfort knowing you’ve made the right decision ❤️ thinking of you! Xx

Crying along with you, you were pulled in two different directions between what Lola is happiest doing and the riding you want to do. The main thing is you have done whats is best for Miss Lola. Zoe sounds lovely so good luck to their future together. Hope you find your new partner soon for your new adventures xxx

Like everyone else I'm watching this in floods of tears. What an incredibly courageous decision. The greatest gift we can give to a horse is to not push them past their capabilities and you have just honoured this for Lola. I have no doubt she will be an exceptional dressage horse and you have taken her there with your patience and kindness. So excited to watch your journey continue with Spritey and your next heart horse😍😍

What a truly beautiful tribute to your incredible journey together xx

Aw this made me so emotional! I sold my pony two years ago now for similar reasons; she wanted to go out jumping and whizzing round whereas I was ready for a quieter life! It broke my heart but I know it was the right decision for both of us. Look how far Lola has come, she’s a complete credit to you and your hard work, you should be really proud! X

Oh Emily that was unexpected and yeah made me cry for you all. I know it must be tough still but I'm so happy you have SO SO SO MANY EPIC memories and fun to watch back upon. She's not gone, it's just like the next step... her PhD time in dressage and your Masters time in Eventing so you say "I'll be cheering you on all the way from a little farther" x

Ohhh Emily. Iv followed you and Tina from the start and I’m so heartbroken for you but such a brave decision for both of you and the right one no doubt. Wishing Miss Lola all the best in her new home. She will shine from all the amazing work you’ve done with her xxx

Oh Em this must have been such a hard decision! Sending you lots of love and wishing Lola the best of luck in her new home

I have never ever cried at a RU-vid video but when you have been around horses for so long you know the pain people go through when selling a horse but also feel the heartbreak for any other companions you have also when Lola was saying goodbye to sprite I broke down because you just know how that would feel to you stay strong Emily looking forward for what’s to come ❤️

May have had a little blub along with you, you’re amazing Emily and you’ve given Lola the best care whilst she’s been lucky enough to call you her mommy. Will miss that beautiful little face but can’t wait to see how you both get on in this new chapter ☺️ Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened my dear🥰🥰

It’s so hartbeaking, I’m crying so much! It proves that you have worked so hard and loved her so much as she is leaving a big mark in your life ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Emily, sitting here crying with you. Such a hard decision you’ve had to make but you’re so strong and a brilliant mum to put Lola’s happiness first! Sending you lots of love ❤️

Absolutely sobbing! I'm in the midst of selling my boy and so I was just bawling with you!! Right decision for you both and it sounds like she has gone to a fab home! Lots of love. x

I cried with you all the way through! I’m such a sob! It’s always hard to let them go x

Omg such an emotional vlog, well done Emily and well done Lola you have both made all of us proud 🥲. Hope to see you on the channel again soon Lola Xx 😘

Aww good luck lola this made me cry , I was crying with you through out your vlog you are amazing with your horsey xx

Cried along with you em but your doing the right thing for you both I'm sure lola will excel in her dressage and you will find a horse that loves eventing just as much as you do xx

Oh my gosh em I’m so sorry but I know you have made the best decision! Good luck in your new home Lola and congrats to new chapters ❤️❤️

Aweeee Emily you had me crying 😢 blimey this was a surprise but Lola will be fine with her new owner and I assume you will now be looking for an event horse which will be a very exciting new adventure for you. As you said you’ve got tons of footage of Lola and you can visit her sometimes. I wish you all the best your a lovely girl tfs😎🐎😎

I can only imagine how hard that was I’ve owned my boy for 9 years and watching this just really made me emotional 😭. Take the time you need to adjust to Lola no longer being at home with you and know you’ve made the right decision for both of you. 💜

Oh Em, it’s heart breaking seeing you cry so much while explaining the decision. I really hope it works out for you and I wish you both the best. She will be missed by loads. Xx

oh em, you and lola are both amazing! its is brave of you to let her go on and do what she really wants to and her new owner seems so lovely and good luck with the future!

oh my gosh that was not the best first vlog for me to watch after coming back from a weekend of no sleep, iv just blubbed like a baby !!! but i have to say WELL DONE for listening to your horse and doing what’s best you can see that was. it an easy decision. what amazing memories you have xxxxxx sending hugs

much love... looking forward to hearing about Lola's new adventure and your new pony adventure.

Oh, sweet Emily! How heartbreaking for you and hard to see your tears. You have made the right decision, but it will definitely be an adjustment.

It's always heart breaking saying goodbye, love to you and shes going to do so well at dressage and be happy in her new home! Xx

Oh em, I’m sobbing watching this! Sending virtual cuddles! Best of luck to Lola and Zoe with their new adventures ❤️

Had no idea this was happening until I saw one of your stories. You're being incredibly brave and strong. You're such a lovely person and I was crying with you. Sending u lots of love and hugs , hope you're ok over the weeks to come xx

Such a lovely tribute to your partnership 💕 Lola is an amazing horse as a result of your hard work & commitment & you can be so proud of that ❤️ I have no doubt that her & Zoe will have so much fun making memories together xxx

Crying all the way through that Emily. Got to do what’s right for you both. Xxxx sending you lots of love xxx

Know exactly how you feel, I've just sold my pony stallion who I had owned since a 2yo for 7 years, and he has gone all the way to Florida!! I felt incredibly guilty as it was such a long journey, but it has helped that his new owner has constantly updated me and he looks very happy. It was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but it was one that unfortuantely needed to be made for my future with horses. Lola will have a fab life with her new owner I'm sure xx

Like everyone else I have cried throughout this vlog….I can only imagine how much of a heartbreak and wrench it has been for you Em, even though it was such the right decision for you both. It is so lovely you are going to be able to see lovely Lola as much as you want and she will be at some shows you will be at. Big big hugs ♥️🥰

Our hearts go out to you Emily, such a tough decision to make but you found dearest Lola another chapter, so brave of you. Sounds like a perfect one. You brought us both to tearful wreaks and Lola was again such a star, give me more treats mummy. We wish her all the very best in her new home and for you, Sprtie and family big hugs and know you are an inspiration to all of us. Last clip was with you and Miss T said it all x

Sending you lots of love, Em! 💕 It’s so tough to say goodbye to a friend.

Emily I’m in tears. But your so brave for making the desision!! Keep your head up

It took me 6 months to put my boy up for sale, I knew it was the right decision for both of us and like you I found the most wonderful family who already love him as much as I do. He left for his new family just over 3 weeks ago and all I can say is it does get easier and you’ll fondly look back at your memories together. I purposely watched videos and looked at photos to have a good cry, then I’d give myself a moment and then do something positive or just eat chocolate and watch my favourite film and it’s helped strangely. Getting updates is wonderful as it helps knowing I made the right decision and I’m sure it’ll help you too. Take care of yourself during these first few weeks. Xxx

Just want to give you a big, big hug, Em! Next time I see you at Colraine, I know you’ll have a smile on your face again! What a wonderful time you and Miss L had x

Oh Emily! I cried right from the get go! You’ve been a partnership for so long so this must have been the hardest decision to make! So glad she’s going to a lovely home! And think of all the quality time you’ll get to spend with spritey now 🌟Sending lots of hugs to you and spritey 🐴💘

How can you even talk through crying, I’m sobbing with you. You have made sure she is going to a lovely home and she will be fine. You will always have wonderful memories of Lola.

I'm sorry to see sweet Lola go but like you said she's going to a wonderful home who's goals are more in line with Lola's skill set and what she enjoys. She'll be cared for and loved and happy and able to reach her full potential and once you're ready you'll be able to find a new horse who will align with your goals and you'll grow to adore. I'm sure it feels awful right now but it's only up from here- for both of you!

💕💕 such a beautiful friendship 💕💕 Lola I’d going to have a wonderful new ‘season’ of her life as will you but it’s incredibly difficult to make those transitions. Sending lots of love.

I know this is very much after the fact and you probably won’t see this but I appreciated seeing this. My young horse, who really has the talent to be a top event horse, just doesn’t love it like I do. She is fab in the dressage and is happiest there. So I’m going to look into finding a dressage home for her! You did what’s best for her and that’s what matters. Not every person wants to event, not every horse wants to event. Makes me feel better going forward with my mare so thank you for sharing!

Omg Em my heart is breaking for you sweetheart, I had floods of tears all the way through 😭💔 I know what such a hard decision it is that you have had to make, but you are doing the best thing for both of you at the end of the day. Miss Lola wouldn't be the brilliant little horse she is today without all your hard work and dedication that you have put in over the years, and for that I highly commend you. Zoe is getting a cracking mare thanks to you Em, so you should be very proud hunny. Rather than the end of an era, I'd like to think of it as a new chapter for both of you and I'm so glad you can still go to see her too. Please give Mummy Dunstan a big hug from me, it broke my heart even more hearing her crying as you loaded her up, she will really miss her too I'm sure. Anyway enough from me, take care sweetheart, sending you lots of love and big virtual hugs 😘❤

I cried right along with you Em. I’ll miss Lola too. 💙 Thank you for sharing this.

Gosh when sprite called for her buddy that really got me! Good luck Emily, and Lola on the adventures to come.

I have not been watching for very long until RU-vid recommended you it has only been about 6 months that i have been watching you but this broke my heart to see Lola go you had lots of lovely memories together and no one will ever forget them I cried and had tears in my eyes the whole way through this vid and it broke my heart to see you cry and Spritey whinniying for Lola but will never see her again for a while maybe at competitions I love, you, Lola, spritey the dogs and everyone else. Love you all

Your so strong em balling my eyes out but she won’t forget you xx you have made memories that are always with her. Xx

Tried to keep it together seeing you in tears but broke down at her and Spritey’s goodbye and am absolutely sobbing. Feels weird seeing that top stall empty, will miss seeing her but I know you’d only let her go to the absolute best home and know she will be well looked after. This is such a hard and heartfelt decision, you are so strong. Sending you all the love in the world xx

Oh Em, you are such an amazing person, my favourite RU-vidr. This is such a difficult but wise decision and you're doing the right thing - you've got so much talent as a rider and a broadcaster. Watching your Vlogs has made me a better person; I am more productive and I think of you often when it comes to pushing myself.

watching this back makes it feel like yesterday . look how far you have come with addie since then :)

Wishing the best for both of you Emily and Lola, not gonna lie I was concerned when you hadn’t been posting last couple weeks. You are doing the best thing for both of you and have found her a lovely person it sounds like. All the best love.

Oh Em, my heart goes out to you! 😢 had me in tears watching this! 😭 xx

I was bawling with you this whole video. ❤️ the fact that you were strong and courageous enough to make this decision that's best for you both is absolutely amazing. As always, you're so inspiring. Sending you, Sprite, and Lola positive, peaceful vibes that you can all settle in to the adjustment as easily as possible ❤️

Oh Em, sending all my love. What a very hard and brave decision. I wish Lola all the best in her new home and you in your search for the next superstar xxx

Wow what an emotional one, So proud of you Emily for making a very hard decision, but as normal you have done what is best for Lola. You have certainly produced an amazing Horse who will now make someone else’s dreams come too. Big hugs 🤗

OMG!!! Ive been watching all your video's, i started crying the minute you did!!!
