😢😢😢 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
I understand your reasons Emily and know it's not an easy decision to make,but to give up it is hard to understand.as she's such a wonderful girl, people don't think about the effects on the horse there mental health and bond.youve done so much together and she knows you as her mom. I could never sell my boy ever. I don't mean to upset you but I'd always wonder if there happy and ok, I just couldn't do it. I think as well Sprite will undoubtably miss her so much.i hope it works out for her and she's loved as much as you loved her.
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
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.
We had to put one of our horses down. I was holding back the tears... Until one of our other horses called out and kept calling. He knew... He's fine now, but that day really made me sad.
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. 💜
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😍😍
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 😘❤
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.
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!
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 ❤️
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
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 ♥️🥰
I have never ever cried at a UA-cam 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 ❤️
You’ve made the most selfless decision ever for miss Lola, I’m certain you’ve made the best decision for the both of you, heartbreaking but the right one xxx
A difficult decision but its so good to think of Lola going off to become the dressage queen she wants to be and to see you moving forward to your next adventure too.
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
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
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
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
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
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 😘
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
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
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!
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!
The right decisions are often the hardest 💔 Looks like she will be absolutely fine & very much loved in her new home 🏡 Big hugs 🤗 and thanks for making me cry 😢 all through that with you 🙃 xx
Everytime your voice broke I was absolutely bawling. I got my horse at the very same time you got her, and she was my 2nd horse too, and we are in very much the same situation - I want to go do xyz and she wants to do ABC. So I can fully appreciate just how heartbreaking this decision was to make for you. I know this was 6 months ago and you have got Addie who you're doing amazingly with but just had to comment! You made such a huge brave decision and that takes serious guts 🥰
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!
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.
I have not been watching for very long until UA-cam 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
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
We bought a horse a month ago who used to event but seems to have gone off jumping. We share his views about jumping and he has already given us a lot of pleasure hacking, dressage lessons and competitions. You've done the same for Zoe. Lola is a credit to you. Hopefully she'll have many happy years with her new owner and you'll soon find a horse that shares your ambitions.... 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
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 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!
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
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
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.
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 ❤️
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 ❤️
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 🥰🥰🥰
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
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 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 😍💜
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!
Emily I'm so sorry but dont be sad. It's going to be sad but to see miss lola in the vlogs anymore but you made the right decision 💞 you and lola have come on so much together and worked so hard to make lola the horse she is today❤❤ best of luck lola with your new journey💖 sending so much love em💞❤❤🥰
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
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 ❤️❤️❤️
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 ❤️❤️
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
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
Emily I am completely heartbroken for You and Lolla ❤ I have been in tears and awe of your brave, brave decision. Albeit I am sure it has been a very hard and difficult decision for you to of made. Lolla and you were so, so great togeather and had so much love for each other though like you said through all the highs and lows ❤ Zoe sounds like a lovely new owner and I know you would of worked very hard to find Lolla the best, perfect and loving home ❤ I will miss seeing Lolla. Sending YOU BIG HUGS my lovely. Take care.
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
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
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
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!
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
Oh Em, you are such an amazing person, my favourite UA-camr. 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.
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
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🥰🥰
I'm so sorry Emily, I cannot convey how much you and Miss Lola have lifted my life over the last two difficult years. She will be missed and wishing you both all my best wishes for the future yet to come. We love you and there's nothing you can do about it.❤️
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
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
💕💕 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.
It's clear to see that you have such a bond with Miss Lola (Call Me Divine) and as you've said, you've had a wonderful journey together with highs and lows. But, you've learnt a lot from each other and that's how you grow as a partnership. You, Emily, have brought Lola on in the time you've had her and Lola has taught you such a lot too... But, if things weren't going in the same direction for you both, then you've made a huge decision to let her go and start her new chapter in her life and I'm more than sure that she will excel in her dressage in the future... And I'm pretty sure that the future will find a diamond in the rough for you to event on and to compete at the levels you're aiming for... Sending love and hugs your way... 🥰🐎
Awww bless, give it a few days and you will realise what you have done is for the best for both of you, look forward to seeing who you move onto the next level with, am sure a new challenge and new memories will make this easier, keep being just you x
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!
I've taken a few days to comment. I couldn't help but cry with you. I have had to rehome a horse, but under different circumstances. I was in a place where my husband's health was failing and we needed to reduce our whole lives. I still cry over the loss even though she passed away in 2011. Sometimes our decision are made from the head, but the heart doesn't agree. I am sending a virus hug, from one broken hearted horsey mama to another. You have made a hard decision based on all the right reasons.
Oh Em I thought you were going to tell us that Spritey had passed away! Phew! Best desicion though for Miss Lola as you both enjoy different things. I'm sure you vetted her new home thoroughly and Plymouth isn't to far. I'm in Plymouth but I don't know anyone horsey called Zoe! Hugs to you,x
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 🤗
😢😢😢 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
Is Emily get a new horse
Tina look after her I know you will xx
So happy she has a friend like Tina to be there and support her because while watching this I just wanted to be with my horse because I was tearing up
I know you'll miss her too though obviously not as much. So sending love to you as well.
And Banks will miss his bestest buddy as well.
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.
I understand your reasons Emily and know it's not an easy decision to make,but to give up it is hard to understand.as she's such a wonderful girl, people don't think about the effects on the horse there mental health and bond.youve done so much together and she knows you as her mom. I could never sell my boy ever. I don't mean to upset you but I'd always wonder if there happy and ok, I just couldn't do it. I think as well Sprite will undoubtably miss her so much.i hope it works out for her and she's loved as much as you loved her.
❤️💜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
(hope i worded that properly)
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
watching this back makes it feel like yesterday . look how far you have come with addie since then :)
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!
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 crying with you. But Spritey calling for Lola, finished me off. Best wishes Em xxx
We had to put one of our horses down. I was holding back the tears... Until one of our other horses called out and kept calling. He knew...
He's fine now, but that day really made me sad.
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. 💜

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😍😍
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 😘❤

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
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
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
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
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
I'm so sorry Emily, heartbreaking to see you in tears, you have done a amazing job with Lola, sending you hugs ❤ xx
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 😘
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
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
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!
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!
The right decisions are often the hardest 💔 Looks like she will be absolutely fine & very much loved in her new home 🏡 Big hugs 🤗 and thanks for making me cry 😢 all through that with you 🙃 xx
Oh em, I’m sobbing watching this! Sending virtual cuddles! Best of luck to Lola and Zoe with their new adventures ❤️
Ditto !!
Everytime your voice broke I was absolutely bawling. I got my horse at the very same time you got her, and she was my 2nd horse too, and we are in very much the same situation - I want to go do xyz and she wants to do ABC. So I can fully appreciate just how heartbreaking this decision was to make for you. I know this was 6 months ago and you have got Addie who you're doing amazingly with but just had to comment! You made such a huge brave decision and that takes serious guts 🥰
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!
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.
I have not been watching for very long until UA-cam 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
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
We bought a horse a month ago who used to event but seems to have gone off jumping. We share his views about jumping and he has already given us a lot of pleasure hacking, dressage lessons and competitions. You've done the same for Zoe. Lola is a credit to you. Hopefully she'll have many happy years with her new owner and you'll soon find a horse that shares your ambitions.... 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
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😎🐎😎
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 ❤️
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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 ❤️❤️
The tears are actually streaming down my face watching this. So long Lola, what an incredible journey you had together. Huge hugs Emily x
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
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 ❤️
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 🥰🥰🥰
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
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 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 😍💜
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!
Emily I'm so sorry but dont be sad. It's going to be sad but to see miss lola in the vlogs anymore but you made the right decision 💞 you and lola have come on so much together and worked so hard to make lola the horse she is today❤❤ best of luck lola with your new journey💖 sending so much love em💞❤❤🥰
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
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 ❤️❤️❤️
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 ❤️❤️
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
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
Emily I am completely heartbroken for You and Lolla ❤ I have been in tears and awe of your brave, brave decision. Albeit I am sure it has been a very hard and difficult decision for you to of made. Lolla and you were so, so great togeather and had so much love for each other though like you said through all the highs and lows ❤ Zoe sounds like a lovely new owner and I know you would of worked very hard to find Lolla the best, perfect and loving home ❤ I will miss seeing Lolla.

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
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
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
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
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!
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
Oh Em, you are such an amazing person, my favourite UA-camr.
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.
I cried with you all the way through! I’m such a sob! It’s always hard to let them go x
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
Gosh when sprite called for her buddy that really got me! Good luck Emily, and Lola on the adventures to come.
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
Oh Emily ..cried the whole way through! Clearly made the right choice for you both, a hard one nonetheless. Sending lots of love xxx
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🥰🥰
What a truly beautiful tribute to your incredible journey together xx
I'm so sorry Emily, I cannot convey how much you and Miss Lola have lifted my life over the last two difficult years. She will be missed and wishing you both all my best wishes for the future yet to come. We love you and there's nothing you can do about it.❤️
Oh my totally unexpected! Wow 😯 Can't believe it ! Wishing you both the best of luck on your new journeys
much love... looking forward to hearing about Lola's new adventure and your new pony adventure.
Oh Em, my heart goes out to you! 😢 had me in tears watching this! 😭 xx
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
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
Awww ems I hope you okay! This is so sad I’m literally on the verge of tears I hope you okay ❤️❤️
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
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
💕💕 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.
In tears watching this! All the best to Miss Lola in her new home. xxx
It's clear to see that you have such a bond with Miss Lola (Call Me Divine) and as you've said, you've had a wonderful journey together with highs and lows. But, you've learnt a lot from each other and that's how you grow as a partnership. You, Emily, have brought Lola on in the time you've had her and Lola has taught you such a lot too... But, if things weren't going in the same direction for you both, then you've made a huge decision to let her go and start her new chapter in her life and I'm more than sure that she will excel in her dressage in the future... And I'm pretty sure that the future will find a diamond in the rough for you to event on and to compete at the levels you're aiming for... Sending love and hugs your way... 🥰🐎
Awww bless, give it a few days and you will realise what you have done is for the best for both of you, look forward to seeing who you move onto the next level with, am sure a new challenge and new memories will make this easier, keep being just you x
Em I’m in floods of tears with you. True love when you put their happiness before your own though 💖
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!
I've taken a few days to comment. I couldn't help but cry with you. I have had to rehome a horse, but under different circumstances. I was in a place where my husband's health was failing and we needed to reduce our whole lives. I still cry over the loss even though she passed away in 2011. Sometimes our decision are made from the head, but the heart doesn't agree. I am sending a virus hug, from one broken hearted horsey mama to another. You have made a hard decision based on all the right reasons.
Oh Em I thought you were going to tell us that Spritey had passed away! Phew! Best desicion though for Miss Lola as you both enjoy different things. I'm sure you vetted her new home thoroughly and Plymouth isn't to far. I'm in Plymouth but I don't know anyone horsey called Zoe! Hugs to you,x
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 🤗
