Emma found her passion very easily - she loved animals and eventually took horseback riding lessons when she was old enough. She tried out for the American Equestrian Team with her three horses - Bonny Lass, Equator and Acute Trouble.
Bonny Lass was her Dressage horse, Equator was her Stadium Jumper and Acute Trouble was her Field Jumper.
Emma and her other riders placed first in all of their events.
In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died
Barney got sick shortly after Emma went to college and passed away 5 short months later. Sara killed herself three days after Barney died - she couldn't live without him.
