File photo dated 5/7/2017 of Queen Elizabeth II meets Shetland Pony Cruachan IV, the mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, during a visit to Stirling Castle, where she marked 70 years since being appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Horses, like dogs, were the Queen's lifelong love and she had an incredible knowledge of breeding and bloodlines. Whether it was racing thoroughbreds or ponies, she showed an unfailing interest.
