The Queen’s final moments with her beloved horse Emma

[@andreabryan4645]

Emma did not just lift her leg, she curtsied like she knew it would be the last honor she could give the Queen.

From the US. The proceedings were touching as it was. But Emma, Sandy, and Mick really hit the hardest. Praying that Louise and Andrew will draw close to them.

[@l.plantagenet]

I'm pretty sure that P. Andrew will take great care of the Corgis. He visited his mother often so he knew them and loved his mother dearly and was her favourite. If Lady Louise gets Emma she too will take care and love her. She broke down when seeing her grandmother's coffin and they were close from what I've heard. 🐕🐴

[@l.plantagenet]

@Irelands eye 🇮🇪 I was just letting her know what I think. Of course, her children and her grandchildren loved her so I believe they knew these animals and will take care of them. I didn't say anything about her caring for her subjects.

Animals have a sense that no human can have. It's touching to see Emma raise her leg as if she bowing to say goodbye. Animals grieve too. I do hope Queen Elizabeths animals have a wonderful life full of the love the queen have them.

[@m1lotheme1on94]

That horse could give zero fucks about her funeral. She doesn’t care and most likely had flies on her leg or was bored and started to paw the ground. Horses can’t bow unless professionally trained to and I highly doubt the queen would get someone to train her horses to do tricks. Sure they can feel sympathy and mourn but they don’t know what a bow is and j the definition of one or how to perform a bow. It’s just a coincidence

Do you know, horses make the most amazing therapy animals. They are much smarter than we often credit them. Do I think Emma knows? Probably. The dogs will definitely know as they were always with her. It’s not just us humans that mourn. But, horses are much more in tune with our emotions than we know. ❤

May our Lord grant our Queen with eternal peace alongside her strength and stay.

Rising Sun was Elvis’ favorite Golden Palomino, and when he came to live at Graceland in the mid-1960s (but born in 1961), the stable was named “House of Rising Sun.” Rising Sun enjoyed a full life of roaming Graceland’s pastures for 21 years, until his death in 1986. He was buried facing the rising sun in the east. After the loss of Rising Sun, another Palomino Quarter Horse, Sun’s Reflection, was brought to Graceland in 1988. Both Sun’s Reflection and Rising Sun came from the same bloodlines and were purchased from the same farm. Sun’s Reflection lived for 27 years, but died at Graceland on August 14, 2009, just two days before the anniversary of Elvis’ death, August 16. Ever since this last horse in 2009 House of Rising Sun has been a Horse Rescue where rescued race horses, rescued wild Mustags and any horse in between can finish out there life grazing on the pastures with the benefit of top knotch Healthcare of University of Tennessee 🥰💝🇺🇲🐎🐴 Elvis LOVED ALL ANIMALS he would be SO PROUD!!!

I thought I had cried all I could over the last few days, but Emma's tribute was truly magnificent.

They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow."
