Queen Elizabeth II was pictured horseback riding on the grounds of Windsor Castle over the weekend in snapshots shared by the official Royal Family account on Sunday.

"The Queen is pictured riding Fern -- a 14 year-old Fell Pony -- in Windsor Home Park this weekend," the caption reads. "Her Majesty has enjoyed riding since childhood and is closely involved with the welfare of the horses she owns for breeding, riding and racing."
According to the BBC, this is the first time Queen Elizabeth -- who reportedly regularly rides on the grounds of Windsor -- has been seen since the coronavirus quarantine started. The last public photo taken of the queen was in March, which showed her being driven away, leaving Buckingham Palace.

Last month, it was reported that the queen has been making the most of her time in quarantine. At the time, sources said she's been enjoying herself in the company of her husband, Prince Philip.

“One of the nicest things for the queen is that she is getting to spend more time with her husband than she usually would,” a friend told Vanity Fair. “They have dinner together in the evenings and I imagine the queen is of the generation where she dresses for dinner. She is riding out every day and is making the most of this time.”
