The animal-loving monarch had a passion for racehorses and owned an impressive 30 corgis throughout her life. However, in her final years, her favourite pony Emma became her constant companion, even making a special appearance at the State Funeral where the nation and the Royal Family bid their last goodbyes to the UK's longest-reigning monarch.
The late Queen often rode her Fell pony Emma around Windsor Great Park, owning her for approximately 15 years. Since the monarch's passing, Emma has continued to reside in the stables there. A year after the heartbreaking loss of her owner, Emma was spotted taking a stroll around the grounds at Windsor on the first anniversary of the Queen's death.
Stud groom Terry Pendry led the black pony around the same area she likely would have walked with Her Majesty during their rides, in a touching and poignant tribute. This isn't the first time Emma has honoured her late owner. During the Queen's funeral procession.
