Queen Elizabeth might have reduced her appearances over recent months but it appears there is one thing she can't give up. According to reports Her Majesty is defying doctor's orders and getting back in the saddle.
Despite being 96 and suffering a number of health problems she seems to be keen to keep up her life-long passion. The then Princess Elizabeth was just three when she was given her first pony.
Since then she has ridden all her life. She also loves watching the horses and makes regular trips to the races.
