Our Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen chokes back tears after heartbreaking death at Ravenseat

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Our Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen struggled to hold back her tears as she bid farewell to one of their cherished Shetland ponies, Little Joe.

In the rebroadcast episode, originally shown in 2021, Amanda brought her children to the stable and tearfully inquired: "So what do you think, Nancy?" "He was quite good," came the response from her daughter, while the shepherdess cried: "He was good, wasn't he?" Later, pointing at another horse, Nancy wondered: "He loved everything that we did for him, is that horse going to die?" "Tony?" Amanda replied, before clarifying: "No, Tony is just young." Puzzled, Nancy asked: "What happened?

Did he get old to die?" reports Yorkshire Live. "He did, he didn't suffer, he just dropped," Amanda stated. "He just had a heart attack." Nancy told her mum she looked after the horse "really well" as she added: "He has been fed really good and he's grown a lot and he's really cosy." "I don't think there could be a better looked-after pony," Amanda reassured her children.

The family then came together for their emotional goodbye to the pony. Turning the camera on herself, Amanda disclosed: "We're going to miss him." Since the conclusion of Our Yorkshire Farm, most of the Owen youngsters have retreated from public life, with the exception of Reuben, who began his own series on Channel 5.
