Queen Elizabeth II spent her 91st birthday at the Newbury Racecourse in the UK on Friday. She was dressed to the nines in a smart pink skirt and jacket as she mingled with jockeys and appeared to be enjoying herself while checking out the Dubai duty free Spring trials. Elizabeth is a longtime lover of horses and has even been spotted riding her own around the English countryside [1].
The queen's actual birthday — April 21 — is usually pretty low-key compared to the pomp and circumstance of her other birthday celebration [3], the annual Trooping the Colour, which happens in June. Last year, when she marked her milestone 90th birthday [4], Elizabeth was also honored with a horse parade [5] by her family and fans in London.
