Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip still riding and driving

[susanne]

When we were all discussing the royal wedding, I asked if the queen, 85, still rides. I found my answer on COTH. Not only is she riding, but Prince P. is still driving his 4-in-hand hitch of Fell Ponies!

(I don't DARE show these photos to Mingus. He already thinks he's royalty...throw in some sweet little kids and the royal mews, and he'd be packing his bags!

The pony the little boy is riding is stunning! Such an alert, keen expression.

Are you referring to the grey? If so that lovely pony is being ridden by Lady Louise Windsor, the queens grand daughter.

I really like that little grey pony, it is just such a pretty little thing. Of course I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of those Fells either.

Yes, the grey. Oops!

Its really hard to tell from the picture if that is a boy or a girl. The clothes are not 'girly' and the helmet hides her long hair, so I think its a reasonable mistake. Aren't the female members of a royal family supposed to be dressed in fluffy frilly princess gowns....oh yeah... that just in Disney movies

Love all the ponies!!! And the expression on the Queen's face says it all! She looks like she is enjoying herself so much. It's a beautiful pic!
