    Anyone can get old
    to live
    you have to do is
    long enough.
    First interaction with corgis
    Why corgis? The answer, which may resonate with
    parents, is that some friends had one in 1933 when
    Princess Elizabeth was seven years old, and she
    wanted one too.
    Pembroke corgis were a familiar sight in Wales, but
    fairly new to England. The Duke of York, Elizabeth's
    father, approached a respected breeder named Thelma
    Gray who brought the family three puppies from her
    Rozavel kennels in Surrey to choose from.
    They settled on a little corgi officially called Rozavel
    Golden Eagle, because he was the only one with a
    small stump of tail to wag - and they wanted to know
    when he was pleased. But the pup became known as
    Dookie, reportedly after the kennel staff heard the
    Duke of York was going to be his owner, and the Princess Elizabeth pictured at Glamis Station
    nickname stuck. with Dookie just after he joined the family
    The Queen’s corgis: A family tree

    For her eighteenth birthday, The


    Queen was given a Corgi named
    Susan from whom numerous
    successive dogs were bred. Some
    Corgis were crossed with
    dachsunds (most notably Pipkin,
    who belonged to Princess
    Margaret) to create ‘Dorgis’, and
    Her Majesty has owned Corgis
    and Dorgis ever since.
    Riding experience
    From an early age, Queen Elizabeth II took a
    keen interest in horses. Into her reign, this
    developed into one of her main leisure time
    activities with a particular emphasis on the
    breeding of thoroughbreds for horse racing.

    As a child, Elizabeth was given her first horse, a


    Shetland pony named Peggy, at age 4, which she
    was riding by the age of 6. By age 18, she was an
    accomplished rider, and continued to ride for
    pleasure into her nineties.
    Riding experience
    In her role as monarch, Elizabeth also rode in a ceremonial role. From her first
    appearance as princess in 1947 and throughout her reign as queen until 1986,
    she attended the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony on horseback. Initially,
    she rode a bay police horse named Tommy in 1947.

    When her father, King George VI, was unwell,


    she rode in his place on his chestnut horse
    Winston, and she rode Winston after George
    VI's death. Later she rode a chestnut horse
    named Imperial. For eighteen consecutive years,
    from 1969 to 1986, her horse was a black mare
    named Burmese. Burmese was a gift from the
    Royal Canadian Mounted Police. From 1987
    onward, since Burmese retired, she would attend
    in a carriage.
    Horse racing experience
    Her Majesty owned many thoroughbred horses for use
    in racing, having initially inherited the breeding and
    racing stock of her late father King George VI, in
    1952. Up until the late 1960s she raced her own-bred
    stock as well as horses bred by the National Stud. Her
    registered racing colours (termed silks), as worn by the
    jockeys riding her race horses, are the same as those
    used by her father and great-grandfather, King Edward
    VII; a purple and scarlet jacket with gold braiding,
    with black cap. As of 2013, horses owned by the
    Queen won over 1,600 races, and excluding the Epsom
    Derby has won all the British Classic Races, some
    multiple times. She also won a French Classic, the Prix
    de Diane in 1974. She was named British flat racing
    Champion Owner in 1954 and 1957, the first reigning
    monarch ever to do so twice.
