Royal Family News: Queen Elizabeth Is Back To Horse-riding After Mobility Problems

British royal family news shows that 2022 has been an epic year for Queen Elizabeth in terms of historical precedent. Earlier this month she celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, an event commemorating 70 years as monarch. The 96-year old queen understandably has experienced various health issues recently including mobility problems that have prevented public appearances. And yet she has heartened spectators near Windsor by getting back in the saddle to enjoy one of her favorite pastimes.

According to reports, nine months ago the 96-year-old monarch was advised by doctors to stop horseback riding.

Royal Family News – The Queen is Back In The Saddle

The queen was not able to attend all of her Platinum Jubilee events and she has been seen using a cane and now has a personalized golf cart to aid her movement. In fact she used to take part in Trooping the Colour on horseback, but this year watched from the balcony.

But on Tuesday she met with Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at Windsor Castle and did not need her cane.

A source told The Sun, “The Queen has enjoyed being on her horse again. Riding again is a wonderful sign after those worries about her health. To do so at 96 is pretty remarkable.”

Her Majesty was given a pony at the age of three in 1929, and she has been a racehorse owner and breeder during her adult years.

Her Majesty is hoping to make her annual trip to Scotland for Holyrood Week but a decision will be taken closer to the time, Buckingham Palace has said.
