Knitting is better, my grandmother told me blank, blank, etc. times. Better than building my tree house, swimming the lake, you know what she said. Bless her, she did not even wnat me around the rooster!! Well, he was mean.

To Emma's family, I hate it when my grandson rolls across even a meadow high on a cable at summer camp. But we want them to grow up and be. You did not want her to knit.

this is very sad...thoughts and prayers out to emma and her family...does anyone know whether this was another rotational fall?

 

[Thistle]

Granfan you have brought tears to my eyes! Having 2 sports mad (only high adrenaline is good enough) children your comments are very apt.

I was unfortunate enough to see it happen yesterday. I believe it was a rotational fall. Very tragic and it brought me to tears when I realised she was not going to survive. My thoughts to all who knew her...she was only 23

How awful, My thoughts are with all concerned.

RIP Emma xx

My deepest sympathies to Emma's family and all who knew her. I was one of the fence judges at fence 20 (which was the ditch and skinny one stride after fence 19) and saw it all happen. Emma rode beautifully and did absolutely nothing wrong - it was one of the best approaches to the fence that we had seen. It was just a tragic and very unfortunate bit of bad luck.

RIP Emma xxxx

Our local newspaper - The Portsmouth News have a nice picture of Emma on front page today. Zara Phillips leads the tributes in the paper.

So so sad, her parents words are a loving moving tribute.

 

[katieewatson]

I am a friend of Emma's and frequently browse this forum as a horserider myself. It is a horrible tragedy, and I think the tremendous amount of support from the equestrian world is a comfort to her family. I will let her parents know that these tributes are here.

Emma was a following her dream with Nina and passed away doing what she loved.

So sorry that you lost your friend Katie.

A desperately sad and tragic accident to happen, my thoughts have been with you all today.

 

[VictoriaEDT]

I am so sorry Kaite, I cant even begin to imagine how you feel and it is clear that Emma had such a huge impact to everyone that she met or knew. I was unfortunate enough to be working near fence 19 on that fateful day and it is such a tragic loss of such a brave inspiring young lady.

Emma was a wonderful person who behaved with the utmost integrity at all times, it is imposible for me to think of a single situation where she acted in a manner to purposfully upset any individual. To have achieved so much so young is testament to the dedication which she put in to any situation.

I can honestly say she will be missed and stands as an example to how we should all aspire to be.
