'All very choreographed!' Victoria Pendleton on royal protocol when she met the Queen

Speaking about the transition between sports, she said: “Well, I was very lucky to be given the opportunity to try another sport.

“It was a bit of an unusual opportunity but I feel very lucky and blessed that someone had that crazy idea to ask me to get involved with horse racing.

“As of now, I can’t imagine my life without my two retired race horses.”
