JAKARTA - In addition to corgi dogs, horses are the next animal to be attached to the image of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-serving king who died last month at Balmoral Castle, Scotland.
No wonder the late Queen has a number of favorite horses. Launching The National News October 24, King Charles III plans to sell 14 of his mother's race course at the Tattersalls auction house, Newmarket.
Unlike the Queen, who loves horses very much, even rides horses frequently, to attend racing meetings, King Charles III was less captivated by horse racing, even though he had been an amateur jockey in the 1980s.
Among the horses sold were Sir Michael Stoute and Just Fine. Not an ordinary coach, Sir Michael has coached more than 100 royal-winning horses.
There is also a Love Affairs horse coached by lattice Cox of Lambourn, in Berkshire, which won the race at Goodwood two days before the Queen's death, citing the BBC.
Then, the five of the auctioned horses were trained by Kingsclere-based Andrew Balding, Hampshire.
"Nothing out of the ordinary. Every year they (the royal family) will sell horses," said Tattersall spokesman Jimmy George.
"The queen has her own female mother, she will breed them and sell them. You can't keep them all."
It is known, Queen Elizabeth II inherited the Royal Stud racing center on Sandringham from her father, King George VI. However, the late Queen's racing manager, John Warren, said His Majesty would still love horses regardless of the legacy.
His first equestrian lesson was reportedly taken at the age of three at a private equestrian school at Buckingham Palace Mews. He was four years old when his grandfather, King George V, gave him a Shetland bangshoe named
"I believe if the queen is not raised to be king, she will find a call with a horse. It is in her DNA," Warren said.
