The Queen has long been a fan of horseback riding, and has often been photographed with horses throughout her long reign. But it's particularly impressive that Queen Elizabeth spent her downtime this past weekend just chilling on a horse alongside her son, Prince Edward. After a busy week celebrating son Prince Charles' 70th birthday, the Queen still found time to live the equestrian life.
Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 92nd birthday on April 21 of this year, and the monarch has shown zero signs of slowing down. Basically, the Queen has more energy than most of us, which makes sense because she's basically a total badass:
