Balmoral Castle - 6

It is well known that The Queen is very fond of horse-riding, and that she still enjoys going for a gentle trot in the countryside - at the age of 84.



Her Majesty has plenty of horses to choose from at Balmoral, and here we see some fine creatures ready to be put into Royal Service.

These three ponies are only a fraction of the number of horses kept in the Royal Mews at the side of Buckingham Palace. The following video clip shows them rehearsing for The Queen's Birthday Parade in London.
