A horse rider who recently celebrated her 100th birthday says she has no plans to give up her reins.
Elizabeth Breton, from Cirencester, started riding when she was only two years old and marked her milestone birthday with champagne, a party and a card from King Charles.
Despite riding being "part of her DNA", Ms Breton had 30 years out of the saddle before returning to the sport in her 70s, going on to ride competitively for a number of years.
The centenarian said she has no plans to stop her weekly visits to Cotswold Riding Stables and said she "came to life" when she started riding again.
"When you ride a horse, it goes right up through your body and I feel it's the best way to exercise your whole body and I still enjoy it, otherwise I wouldn't bother," she said.
"I don't particularly like walking, it's boring, really boring and I certainly can't jog anymore which is why riding is so good."
