Queen Elizabeth II s getting a head start on her birthday festivities. The royal family’s official Instagram account shared a picture of the Queen on Wednesday standing between two of her fell ponies, Bybeck Katie and Bybeck Nightingale. "Ahead of The Queen’s 96th Birthday tomorrow, Royal Windsor Horse Show, have released a new photograph of Her Majesty with two of her fell ponies, Bybeck Katie and Bybeck Nightingale," the caption began.
Queen Elizabeth kicked off her birthday celebration early on Wednesday. (AP/Scott Heppell, File) "Taken last month in the grounds of Windsor Castle, the photo is the fourth in a series of photos released by the Royal Windsor Horse Show, following images that celebrated the Golden Jubilee, the Platinum Jubilee and Her Majesty’s 90th Birthday." "First staged in 1943, The Queen has attended every single Royal Windsor Horse Show," the caption concluded.
Queen Elizabeth has always shared a fondness for horses and was gifted a Shetland pony when she was just four years old. She apparently passed her love down to her daughter, Princess Anne, who became the first British royal to compete in the Olympics in the 1976 games in Montreal.
Princess Anne rode in the three-day equestrian event and her daughter, Zara Tindell, competed in the 2012 Olympics and received a silver medal while competing as a member of the Great Britain Eventing Team.
