Emma got her name through her amazing origin story which made national news! She started life a as a free roaming unhandled horse on the Navajo Nation bordering Lake Powell. When the lake was low, she wandered across a sand bar to an area that quickly turned into an island when the water level in the lake rose, leaving her and her newborn foal stranded. Boaters on the lake saw the pair and realized they didn't have any food left on their island and put a rescue operation into motion to get them to Best Friends. Emma is named after John Wesley Powell's wife, Harriet Emma Dean Powell.
Emma was wild and un-handleable when she came but has made a lot of progress and has gotten quite tame. She is looking for a life-long partner who is extremely experienced and understands her worries and her sensitive nature and appreciates how amazing she is.
