I read, or rather gaze at the articles and photos on The Daily Mail site, and today I saw this picture (@ Kelvin Bruce)
Amazing fit for her advanced age and still able to ride her Fell Pony, this handsome lady is a horsewoman extraordinaire.
I mean I have books about horses and riders, with Her Majesty Queen's photos in there, and I have visited some royal castles in the UK, seen monuments, films and photos, read articles and so on about Her Majesty's love for horses and horseback riding - there is a Wikipedia entry about her horses. Many photos here.

At 91, birthday being next month, Queen Elizabeth II astride her mount is a view to behold - ergo, long live the Queen!
Do note, Her Majesty Queen has no helmet - :)
meantime in Russia -
ReplyDelete''A ruling party MP in Russia has sought to have the new Disney musical Beauty and the Beast banned for peddling “gay propaganda”.''

Meantime in Latvia Soviet classic films are banned, and so are most of the Russian websites, including the mail provider Yandex.ru. is it a competition for who has more censorship?

ReplyDeleteI don't understand the comments attached to the post- what's going on?
ReplyDeleteComing back to the Elizabeth- she rode without helmet but hmmm she didn't look as a lady- lady should wear a hut or cap- never such scarf like peasant women hundred years ago.
And nowadays some "traditional" Catholic have a lot against "Kopftuchen" (called it from German), what makes me furious- at least even queen Elizabeth wore such head cover.
