The Queen &amp; Her Horses (3rd Edition)Celebrating a royal passion for equestrianism. The smile that beamed across Her Majesty’s face – and TV screens worldwide – when her horse Estimate won the 2013 Ascot Gold Cup said it all. For a few sweet moments the polite mask of duty was cast aside for the world to witness The Queen’s unadulterated happiness at cheering on a cherished horse to give its all. It is in the world of horses that The Queen is able to taste some part of the life she might have had were it not for an accident of birth – and an abdicating uncle. The eve of her Platinum Jubilee seems an ideal moment to take stock. A life with horses, whether you’re a Queen or a pauper, is rarely smooth. The TV cameras may capture the glamour of Royal Ascot but behind the scenes, The Queen’s passion for horses has been characterised by patience and her grace in dealing with the lows as well as the highs.
