Born and Raised on the Cumbrian fells in England, Carltonlima Emma displays the steadfast demeanor and sure-footedness the Fell Pony is known for. The trusted mount and companion of HM Queen Elizabeth II for over a decade, Emma excelled as a show horse and broodmare in addition to appearing in royal pageants. After her retirement from competition, Emma and the Queen could often be observed hacking on the grounds of Windsor Castle with close family and friends. Following the passing of the Queen, Carltonlima Emma attended her funeral procession. One of the Queen's headscarves, a signature piece of her daily riding apparel was draped across Emma's saddle - a fitting tribute to a special partnership.
In addition to the flowing mane and tail, straight leg feathers and rich black coat that are trademarks of her breed, Carltonlima Emma wears a satiny purple and silver sash bearing her name.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Fell Pony Society and Girlguiding. HM Queen Elizabeth II was a patron of the Fell Pony Society and supporter of all things equestrian.
