The Queen riding a rather fat pony...

[joeanne]

Otherwise, I think it's great to see the Queen still riding, and I hope I can still scramble aboard a pony at over 80!

I have images of you racing round my head now....aged 80+ on a little grey highland pony, brandishing a bow/sword/violin.....

i just love the fact she wears jods and boots, it's almost cute As for the hat, her head and her choice and quite frankly i think she'd tell one where to jolly well trot off to if you told her she had to wear one!. I doubt very much she is a role model for the younger generation, can you honestly see any young girl thinking ohh i want to be like an 86 yr old grey haired woman

Visions of you and Queen doing gymkhana games around the grounds....

You know I would... Open invite if Liz would ever like to join in my pony games

the queen is tiny so probably doesn't help with the ponies size - I should imagine he looks a little larger with her on. Plus her parkland, her head and quite frankly if she's got to the age she has without a hat on she's probably not too concerned. Even though maybe she should be wearing hi viz - otherwise how will the air ambulance ever find her!!

I hope I'm still functioning with all my marbles at 80, let alone having a blast on horseback!!! Go, girl!

 

[shadowboy]

Brilliant, just brilliant, she's outside riding enjoying her horse. Good on her. I always kit myself up because its my body. All adults are responsible for their own actions so if she'd rather not wear a hat so be it. I hope my body is fit enough and my mind able enough when I'm that age!

 

[Honeylight]

Think it's great she's still riding at her age. good luck to her, hope she continues to enjoy her riding for some more years.

The Queen can do anything she bloody well likes, cause she is The Queen 'innit!!

I love The Queen and Phillip, but I wouldn't consider them role models by any means...and I don't think there can be more than a handful of (questionably normal) kids and teenagers, heck, even adults, who would emulate her riding style in similar wardrobe choices.

Give her a break, shes THE QUEEN

 

[CorvusCorax]

Do we honestly think Liz gives a flying rat's ass what the membership of HHO thinks?!

Do you mean I should take my new protective head scarves back to the shop?

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Probably not but then I don't give a rat's arse about 'Liz'! Just my opinion of course

Do you mean I should take my new protective head scarves back to the shop?

The new HRH Kevlar range?
