The Queen was pictured riding Balmoral Fern, a 14-year-old Fell Pony, on the grounds of her Windsor Castle residence.Download the ABC News app and subscribe to our range of news alerts for the latest on how the pandemic is impacting the world The Windsor grounds are a favourite of the Queen, who is a passionate horse lover and breeder of thoroughbred racehorses.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said Her Majesty has enjoyed riding since childhood and was closely involved with the welfare of the horses she owns for breeding, riding and racing.The last time the queen was seen in public was when she was driven from Buckingham Palace in London to the Windsor residence.Since her last appearance, she delayed carrying out official duties, and has been doing her weekly audience with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson via the phone as opposed to face-to-face.
She has also made two televised addresses to the public to address concerns over the new virus lockdown.
The horse looks so proud! I bet his name is Phillip
Is this the result of ABC budget cuts?
Dont give a shit.
I could understand this on a slow news day but right now WTF!
The Royal parasite rides a horse / so what!
How about you do your job and call our the rampant fossilfuel corruption in the Australian government? For once. 'Our ABC' yeah right.
And we should give a 💩 why? How about do some real journalism. You know, investigate all the illegal 💩 the LNP are doing
Yes. And?
Slow news day people? Oh wait America is burning?
I'm a Republican for Oz, but I like and respect this woman so much, hat's off to her, going for a canter ar her age - from a bloke who thinks horses are magnificent, but is terrified of them.
Really now tell me who really care's even if she was riding a donkey. Time Australia stood on our own two feet
Who cares?!
Let us know when Buckingham Palace is on fire, otherwise, no-one cares
Yea cos with everything else that’s going on in the world this is big news. Who really gives a shit about this
Breaking News. Sky is blue.
Given she’s over 90 I think it is newsworthy.
Putin did it, now queen Elizabeth 2 does it. That old biddy has some weird type of tough about her. Makes you think that maybe she can still be dangerous or always was.
Nice horse, nice photo......now how about some current news that we are more interested in.
Huge If True...
...but the Queens recent speech on corona-virus.... 'naah no space, let's run with one of our 5 daily racism or white privilege stories'....
The grass is green and it's a sunny day.
My mother is the same age, I cannot cannot imagine a similar photo being taken of her - and it’s not because she doesn’t like horse riding.
News? 🤷♂️
This is news because....?
The queen mucking out would be news, but I suppose this type of sychophancy is all part of the Ita/Murdoch ABC?
And? I thought I was following the ABC, not Women’s Weekly.
Why is this news ? Give me back my money
Ok
And?
Sooo glad it’s not photos of Prince Andrew riding minors.
Sack the Queen
Very brave Your Majesty. Practising for 8th June?
Unless she falls off this isn’t news worthy
I am not a royalist, but she's amazing. There'll never be another one like her.
The Queen fiddling while Rome is burning!!!
Wish her staying well.
A female horse?
Hold the Presses.
Oh well, let's declare a national fu*king holiday then!!! dontfall
And..... This is news because?
a 94 yr old in a horse is a recipe for disaster. i dont care who she is.
If she had been photographed riding a Rhinocerous or maybe driving a sled behind a team of corgis this may have been newsworthy.
She's preparing for war
Its slow news week...
And not side-saddle 😳
Preparing to Make America Great Britain Again? The Burning of Washington part 2 really needs a British monarch on a horse...
Gasp,!!
In breaking news, I saw a photo of an old lady on a horse in a paddock
Who cares...
Whoopdeef*ckingdoo.

Orstralien news mate 👍🏽
Get off Camilla!
Zero fcuks given
Fire whoever choose to post this.
Yeah. America is on fire and Trump is in a bunker. But I guess some people want a little nothing news as a break from the never ending shitstorm that’s passing for 2020.
Please everybody settle down. This is a very good photo shopped pic. Seriously does anyone believe that a woman in her 90's in her position would be doing this 'NO'
'Dutifully leading UK riot police' 🇬🇧
And?
Is this a joke?
I get the feeling Ita Buttroses royalist finger prints are all over the piece
This was in poor taste guys. Please report actual news.
Defund the ABC news dept
I wonder if the horses name is Great Britain! If it is they’ve been getting a ride on it for along time now!🤣🤷♂️🧙♂️
Alternatively a distraction post could also be a monkey heres one now..
Oh ITA!!!
Amazing GWGT2013
Bad translation of a good Hellenic saying “the World is burning, and the old lady just sits there brushing her hair”
I thought it was her son pedo prince andrew that rides 14 year olds
Lol, that’s not the queen. The real queen died ages sgo morons. But you know that already hey 👋
So important .. she’s finally delivering the Kerr letters
