We had a documentary on here very recently which was a behind the scene's fly on the wall look at the Queen and her horses. She has an absolute magical quality with them but totally gets their physche.

There was one moment where they brought the new foals of the year out to meet her and In them was two very spooked out and unmanagable young colts. The way she went over to them and made contact with them was quite awe Inspiring. in fact, she's just hired some American guy to break them In.

Any race meeting she's at, she has to go down to the paddocks and touch them, talk to the grooms etc about their bloodline.

Yes, her face shows her as the owner of the Gold Cup winner... and not the monarch.

I think I've mentioned this on here before, but I am a great

admirer of the Queen's horsemanship, ever since I saw her

in that trooping of the colour parade, when the shots went

off and she SAT her mount... sidesaddle no less! Pretty

amazing woman, and more to her than perhaps meets the eye?

Do you have a link to that documentary by any chance?
