I remember the day Brian
I remember the day Brian Doyle brought Emma over to my barn at Mohawk. He said this girl came all the way over from Wales and was looking for a job and did I need any help. I said yes I do and good help she was. A hard worker and a very knowledgeable Horse Person. She eventually hung up her own shingle. Had a small stable of horses and did really well. Very sad that a nice person like Emma had to leave us at young age of just 41. My Condolences to the family. RIP.

Condolences to Mark, Wendy, Lexie and the rest of the Frieze family. Nobody ever had a bad word to say about Emma. She will be missed. RIP Emma
