The following article\u00a0contains\u00a0spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0aired on ITV1\u00a0yet, but\u00a0can be viewed on ITVX.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With\u00a0Kim Tate<\/a>\u00a0(Claire King<\/a>) lying seriously injured in hospital in\u00a0Emmerdale<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Monday\u2019s\u00a0episode, there were fears that she could lose her leg.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kim fell from her horse, Ice, when she went to investigate reports of illegal shooting happening on her land. The horse\u2019s leg got entangled by a\u00a0snare\u00a0and Kim fell to the ground, damaging her own leg as she did so.\u00a0<\/p>\n By the time Dawn (Olivia Bromley<\/a>), Lydia (Karen Blick) and Sam (James Hooton) found her the next day, Kim was in\u00a0a very bad\u00a0way and was rushed to hospital and taken for emergency surgery to save her leg.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Ice, meanwhile, had\u00a0headed for\u00a0home\u00a0and Joe (Ned Porteous) found him at the stables. Like Kim, he was in\u00a0a very bad\u00a0way.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) was called to look at the animal, and she gave Joe and Dawn the\u00a0bad news\u00a0that Ice\u2019s injured leg would never heal properly. Kim would never be able to ride him again, and\u00a0he\u2019d\u00a0be in constant pain which would only get worse. She recommended that he should be put to sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dawn wanted to wait until\u00a0they\u2019d\u00a0had a chance to consult Kim, but Joe was confident that Kim\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0want her horse to\u00a0suffer\u00a0and he told Vanessa to go ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n Later at the hospital there was good news about Kim\u2019s\u00a0leg\u00a0and it looks like\u00a0she\u2019ll\u00a0make a full recovery. But the only thing she was interested in was to know how Ice was.\u00a0<\/p>\n Joe and Dawn broke the news,\u00a0emphasising\u00a0that they were with the horse when he died. Kim was devastated and wanted to know whether\u00a0they\u2019d\u00a0explored the options.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t Ice has been seen in some important moments during his time\u00a0on\u00a0Emmerdale, including\u00a0carrying Kim to her wedding with Will Taylor<\/a>\u00a0(Dean\u00a0Andrews).\u00a0The horse has also been involved in some darker moments in the soap \u2013 and\u00a0is, in fact, a killer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n When Kim was out riding Ice in November 2023, she\u00a0encountered\u00a0a character called Craig Reed (Ben Addis). He was a former friend of Lydia\u2019s\u00a0who\u2019d\u00a0wanted to have an affair with her. When she refused, he raped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cain (Jeff\u00a0Hordley) and Sam doled out some Dingle retribution and left Craig for dead, but they\u00a0hadn\u2019t\u00a0finished the job. When Kim saw\u00a0him\u00a0he was\u00a0badly wounded, but\u00a0definitely still\u00a0alive, but when he made a grab for Ice\u2019s reins, the horse reared up and caught Craig with his hoof.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tCan’t wait for the next twist?\t\t\t<\/p>\n Hi, I\u2019m Maisie Spackman, a Soaps reporter at Metro. <\/strong>I cover all the latest spoilers and gossip from Weatherfield to Walford.<\/p>\n If you want to stay up to date on the biggest storylines and news from your favourite cast members, sign up to\u00a0our daily Soaps Newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t From shocking twists to fan-favourite theories, it\u2019s all in your inbox every morning.<\/p>\n Sign up now<\/a>.<\/p>\n The kick from the horse was\u00a0the deadly blow that killed Craig<\/a>, but neither he nor Kim faced any repercussions as Cain helped to cover the whole thing up.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Ice was technically a killer,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0particularly tragic that\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0ended his life this way.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a shock that Kim\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0easily recover from, and\u00a0at the moment\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0blaming Joe for her loss, particularly as she overheard him\u00a0apparently looking\u00a0forward to taking over the running of Home Farm and Kim\u2019s businesses permanently\u00a0now\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0\u2018not getting any younger.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile Sam and Lydia have been left feeling guilty that the whole incident happened during\u00a0an illegal shoot that they arranged<\/a>.
