What a kind gesture 💜

I bet the Queen was deeply honored, what a great gesture.💖🐎🥰
What a lovely gift for her. Will cheer her up! 🥰

The monarch, 96, was presented with a rare Karabakh horse in Windsor Castle’s courtyard a day before surprising royal watchers with a visit to Paddington Station to inaugurate the Elizabeth Line. The horse was a gift from President Ilham Aliyev after his country was invited to perform at the recent Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Karabakh horse is an Azerbaijani native that is used for endurance events and races. The Karabakh horse is culturally significant to the people of Azerbaijan.

The Queen was filmed smiling as she was presented by a Karabakh horse named Glory by the Equestrian Federation of Azerbaijan, a gift from the country's president

The breed is prized for its temperament and speed; in 2004, a Karabakh horse named Kishmish from Azerbaijan’s Agdam camp ran 1,000 meters in 1 minute, 9 seconds, and 1,600 meters in 1 minute, 52 seconds.

This breed’s population is currently under 1,000, and it is on the verge of ext.inc.tion.
The Queen, who has a lifelong passion for horses, described the gesture as “Very Kind And Very Generous.”

Just the perfect gesture for a lovely Queen!!
