Did you know that Queen Elizabeth loves riding and spending time at the stables in her spare time? Once you see her beautiful Thoroughbred horses, you’ll understand why.

As this video shows, the amount of care and training that are put into the Queen’s very special horses is incredible. These are beautiful, well-trained animals, and they’re a pleasure to watch.

The name of the horse featured in the video below is “Stardust,” and it’s a fitting name for such a gorgeous Thoroughbred. In this video, Stardust is being readied to take part in a celebration called the Diamond Jubilee.

Queen Elizabeth proudly supports the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association, and her patronage has been rewarded by having three different races named in her honor.
