A 96-year-old who has no plans to hang up her boots says her twice-weekly rides on a 17hh former racehorse are her “lifeline”.
Grandmother of five Elizabeth Breton won point-to-points in her youth but then had a long break from the saddle, returning when she was about 70.
She hunted till she was in her 80s and still rides thoroughbred Billy, who is “very comfortable”, she told
H&H, near her home in Gloucestershire.
“I’m not sure I’d enjoy my riding so much if I was hacking around flat Lincolnshire!” she said. “We haven’t been able to do anything exciting recently as it’s been so wet, but I did nearly fall off last week when a pheasant made a meal of coming out of the hedge and I had no reins. I was definitely unseated but luckily survived, as he’d be quite big to fall off.”
