Horse Dies of a 'Broken Heart' Day before Owner

 

The Daily Mail has reported that Lavender, a healthy horse who passed away one day before her young owner, Emma Smith, lost her battle with leukaemia, died of a broken heart according to Emma's devastated mother.

Emma, 23, of Kent in southeast England, died on 20 January, only a day after her beloved horse Lavender passed away from a rare form of colic despite having never been ill in her life. 

Ms Smith's parents, Julie and Malcolm, said the horse and rider shared a special connection that led them to believe Lavender knew something was wrong. 

So sad for the family to lose not only their beautiful daughter but also her beloved horse.
