"Pay homage to Emma and support her mother"
At the head of the procession is her official horse, Rubis, a 17-year-old beige pony that she was almost the only one who could ride.
Dozens of young riders are present, a white rose in hand, in memory of Emma, like her friend Octavie, 15 years old.
"It's to do her a little honor by bringing her back her pony that she adored. It's to prove to her that we were there for her, and that we always will be, even if she's in heaven. “, she says at the microphone of Europe 1.
The teenager confides that on this day, "there are a lot of emotions".
Emma's mother, in tears, is also present, as is the teenager's instructor, Fanny.
This evokes an important gathering.
"It's paying homage to Emma, supporting her mother," she explains.
"It's also for the children, maybe it will help them grow, to participate in this walk, to realize that you have to be careful about your company."

A white march joined by college students
Among the crowd, there are also anonymous people like Jean-Pierre, touched by the tragedy.
"I am wholeheartedly with the parents. It's horrible," says Jean-Pierre.
"I tell myself that we have small children who are 10 years old, but when I see the age of 13 and 14, we say to ourselves how we can do to avoid this kind of thing? It brings us down", breath- he.
The procession was joined by a bus carrying students from the Lugny college, where the teenager was studying.
The gathering then headed towards the center of the village of Clessé.
