The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are this month going to present the queen with another horse. This will be the fourth horse that she has accepted during her reign as Queen.
The horse has been renamed George after the Queens Grandfather, King George.
George will be presented to the Queen on 16th May at the end of the Royal Tattoo which is held at Windsor Castle. The Tattoo includes military and equestrian displays and will also feature the RCMP Pipes and Drum band.
A mare called Burmese was the first horse given to the Queen by the Royal Canadian Mounties 40 years ago in 1969.
A stallion owned by Leona Lewis has head butted her after becoming spooked.
The X Factor winner was hit so hard that she was knocked to the floor and her lip was split. She was sent home by doctors and ordered to rest just in case she was suffering from concussion.
Leona has been riding for many years and the stallion was a birthday gift from her friends.
Ms Lewis didn’t need to have surgery on her injuries but she is resting and her album recording sessions have been put on halt for now.
