We will always miss her
- remembering HRH late Queen Elizabeth II on her 1st anniversary of death 08.09.2022 -


Late HRH Queen Elizabeth was a lifelong lover of horses.
She received her first horse, a Shetland pony, at age four and went on to own dozens of horses throughout her life. She also had a close friendship with Lord Porchester, her racing manager and dancing partner. She died on September 8, 2022, - one year ago - at the age of 96.
Over her long life, the Queen owned hundreds of horses, including numerous winning racehorses.
After developing an interest in horses, Queen Elizabeth inherited the breeding and racing stock of her late father, King George VI. The Queen enjoyed numerous wins with her racehorses over the years, earning the Champion Owner title in British flat racing in 1954 and 1957, according to Racing Post. This honor goes to the owner whose horses have won the most prize money during a season.

Queen Elizabeth and her racehorses continued to enjoy wins throughout her reign, with one of the most recent triumphs occurring in 2022. In April, Educator, a 3-year-old colt bred and owned by the monarch, won the bet 365 Handicap Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse.

Queen Elizabeth passed her love for horses and horseback riding on to the next generation of royals, including King Charles III and Princess Anne. Princess Anne became the first royal to compete in the Olympics when she rode in the equestrian three-day event at the 1976 Games in Montreal. Following in her footsteps, Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, competed in the 2012 Olympics and won a silver medal as a member of the Great Britain Eventing Team.

Queen Elizabeth often attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show, the UK's largest outdoor horse show, each year at Windsor Park. For the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the Royal Windsor Horse Show hosted "A Gallop Through History," which paid tribute to the monarch's 70 years on the throne through acting and musical performances.

Accomplished horseback rider Queen Elizabeth continued to ride well into her nineties, often enjoying jaunts around the grounds of Windsor Castle and her Balmoral estate in Scotland. In October 2021, it was reported that the Queen had to stop her favorite pastime due to "discomfort." It has since emerged that she had been experiencing "episodic mobility problems." Her Majesty returned to riding in June last year, going for gentle strolls on her Fell pony.

Such a large part of her life, it's unsurprising that horses were involved in Queen Elizabeth's 96th birthday celebration. The portrait of the monarch released in April to celebrate her birthday featured the Queen standing between two of her favorite Fell ponies, Bybeck Katie and Bybeck Nightingale
