The pony of Queen Elizabeth takes first place at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

According to Express UK, Queen Elizabeth was presented with a trophy after her pony won first place in a competition at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday.

The Queen, who returned to her beloved show after missing the first day on Thursday, looked delighted and in high spirits as she was presented with a trophy in the royal stands to roaring applause from the audience.

The 96-year-old monarch, whose health has made headlines in recent months, defied reports about her worsening health as she drove herself to the event in a Range Rover and then made her way to the royal box with a help of a stick.

The appearance also marked the Queen’s first official public appearance since attending her late husband Prince Philip’s memorial service in March.
