The images showed some of her children enjoying rides on the pony on their farm in North Yorkshire, and Amanda's followers flooded the comments with more well-wishes. One person said: "We were all so sad little Joe had passed. Love the show and those adorable children."
Another added: "Sending love to the kids [whose] hearts must feel broken," as a third wrote: "All I've ever wanted for my animals is that when the time comes, they're warm and safe in their own bed. What a long and wonderful life you gave him. Sorry for your loss but so many wonderful memories."

The TV star often keeps her fans up to date on social media with the goings-on at their farm, but the best way to keep in the know is to tune into Our Yorkshire Farm on Channel 5, which recently returned for a new series.
It seems the programme has gone down a treat so far with audiences, and Amanda was keen to thank TV fans for watching in their millions. She wrote on Instagram last week: "A big thank you to all viewers who tuned in to #ouryorkshirefarm on @channel5_tv last night. Nearly two million viewers watched and will grow to three million in consolidated figures. Only losing slot to the mighty Silent Witness."
