The royal family's Instagram account has provided fans the cutest collection of throwback images of Queen Elizabeth II out of appreciation for National Pet Month. They also revealed that at her age, she's still riding horses.

"Today we are marking National Pet Month. The nation's pets have kept us company during lockdown, and have joined our daily walks!" the royal family's social media account captioned the slideshow of photos.

The account wrote that the first royal corgis, named Dookie and Jane, joined the family in 1933 when King George VI offered them to his daughters, then-Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret.

"On her 18th birthday, Princess Elizabeth was given her very own Corgi named Susan, and has owned more than 30 corgis and dorgis since," the royal family wrote.

Throughout her life, the Queen's affection for horses has stayed with her, the account continued. Today, she still rides horses and takes an extraordinary enthusiasm for the horses which she breeds and owns for racing.
