Roana, a mare believed to be the oldest horse in the United Kingdom, is commemorating her 46th birthday.
The horse has gained recognition through a survey conducted by equestrian specialists, positioning her as a leading candidate for the title of the UK's oldest horse.
In stark contrast to the typical lifespan of horses, which averages between 25 to 30 years, Roana has significantly exceeded this expectation.
