I love this article from the Daily Mail which talks about our Queens life-long love of horses and includes some lovely stories from when she was very young:) So we do have something in common with her then!

The picture of the queen on 'peggy' is so sweet! nice video as well. So funny when the guy says 'you get £16' and she laughs and goes '£16? oh!'

Have to say I have seen the Queen most happy in photographs/media when she is interacting with horses in some way! Yes, this does make us all have something in common with her, I am glad she has managed to continue riding for so long, despite being the Queen. What an achievement to be a lifelong rider up until the age of 85. I also love the bit in Monty Roberts autobiography where he recounts the first meeting he had of the Queen and how she was basically responsible for him achieving success in the UK and consequently going on to achieve worldwide success with her support behind him.
