Who knew that the queen was as My Little Pony fan, right? Well, it look like she is. Queen Elizabeth’s birthday has been marked with the release of a picture showing her indulging her passion for horses and ponies. Here’s what you need to know.
Standing with two of her fell ponies, the Queen was photographed as the build-up begins for the Royal Windsor Horse Show, which commissioned the image. The Queen turned 96 on Thursday. This year the Royal Windsor Horse Show will mark the Platinum Jubilee with A Gallop through History, a spectacular equestrian display showcasing horses from across the globe.

It has been billed as a “personal tribute to our monarchy” and will feature more than 500 horses and more than a thousand performers taking the audience on a journey from Elizabeth I to the Queen.
The new photograph of the Queen was taken in March in the grounds of Windsor Castle by Henry Dallal, who was commissioned to take an official portrait of her to mark her 90th birthday. On the Queen’s left is the pony Bybeck Nightingale and on her right is Bybeck Katie, and both animals will feature in A Gallop through History.
As many fans know, the queen’s love for the equine world is something she shared with her mother, and she has been breeding and racing horses for more than 60 years.
