One of the most interesting things about the reign of Elizabeth II is that it became a modern image. A mixture of tradition with updating to the new times. So it was also with horses for this horse-loving queen. Horses in today’s world mean sport, in the past a great friend and ally.

His reign was fraught with controversy, thanks to the complexity of political relations in the upper echelons. Likewise, despite her carrying an important legacy on herself, not all the family understood and respected such a legacy.
In that mixture of modernity, its history and that of the modern crown was portrayed in the series “The Crown”. This series uncovered so many plots, gossip, and documented the Queen’s difficult role in bringing the monarchical institution to the modern world.
Additionally, the unfortunate physical disappearance of Lady Di, hit the image of that institution. Recent scandals have also taken care of it.
The truth is that the institution of the monarchy has achieved the objective of providing a sense of continuity and stability. Thanks to this, it continues to exist. What will happen to King Charles III? It remains to be seen.
However, one aspect of the queen that we will discuss in depth in this article will be her love for horses.

Without further ado, let’s move on.
Short biography of Queen Elizabeth II, the horse lover
Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, she was the daughter of King George V and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She was not destined to become Queen, but due to numerous events of chance, she became the successor to the throne.
This was due to the abdication of his uncle, King Edward VIII, Edward Albert Windsor. Elizabeth’s uncle fell in love with a divorced American woman. The Anglican church, headed by the King of the United Kingdom, does not admit marriage to a divorced person until his previous partner dies.
These events provoked a constitutional crisis which led to the abdication of Edward VIII and came to the throne to Elizabeth’s father.
His father, until that time Albert Frederick Arthur George, immediately became George VI of the United Kingdom. Elizabeth, at only 10 years of age, became the successor to the crown.
However, there were times when the possibility of his uncle having an heir put the royal succession at risk. However, this did not happen.
But the strongest was yet to come after his father passed away prematurely. This put the responsibility of the crown prematurely on his head at only 27 years old. A change for a crown accustomed to experience. Beyond that, Elizabeth’s personality was instrumental in her being well regarded for the position.
Her relatives and the politicians who had the pleasure of meeting her indicated that she reflected authority and responsibility, first and foremost.
