It’s tough to be the Queen but Her Majesty definitely deserves
a break. Following her high profile visit in Germany and the frenzy that was
the christening of Princess Charlotte early this month, Queen Elizabeth II found
made an escape from her busy schedule to enjoy
a horse ride in Windsor Castle.
The Queen was photographed with her head groom Terry Pendry as
she looked rested with the fresh air and the leafy surroundings of Berkshire.
The Queen looked lovely with the white jodhpurs and light
jacket that she wore for her day out. Her hair was swathed with a silk scarf, which
she usually wears when going outdoors.
Despite advancing age, the Queen who has reigned for 62
years is showing no sign of slowing down and she’s always seen horse riding in
Windsor or in her country estates, Balmoral and Sandringham. The Queen has been
an avid horse rider ever since she was given her first pony – the Shetland mare
she called Peggy , which was a gift from her grandfather, King George V. With
her lifelong passion for horsemanship, the Fédération Equestre Internationale
(FEI) honored her with a life achievement award.
