Zara Tindall showed off her riding skills as she took part in the Hartpury International Horse Trials in Gloucestershire on Saturday.

As the former Olympian equestrian competed, she was watched by her eldest child, daughter Mia, 10.

The mother-of-three also shares daughter Lena, seven, and son Lucas, four, with her husband Mike Tindall. 

During the event, which started on August 5 and concludes on August 10, Zara took part in dressage, cross country, and showjumping.

She was snapped dressed for the part, wearing white jodphurs and a white shirt, with a blue jacket and black helmet as she rode her horse Showtime.

When she wasn’t competing, Zara changed into a light blue hooded sweatshirt, dark blue gilet, baseball cap, and clear framed shades.

Meanwhile Mia, who appeared excited to be at the event, and was snapped throwing her arms into the air, wore a matching blue sweatshirt with shorts. 

Another image shows the youngster rubbing Showtime’s nose, suggesting that she too is interested in horses.

Zara, 44, is a notable international equestrian competitor, with some impressive accomplishments.

She won a gold medal at the European Eventing Championships in 2005 and a silver medal at the World Equestrian Games in 2006.

Her passion for horses was a family legacy, with her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, famously having a deep connection to horse racing.

And her mother Princess Anne was the first member of the British Royal family to compete in the Olympic games.

Renowned for her equestrian love, she elevated her enthusiasm to the highest level by riding the Queen’s horse, Goodwill, in a three-day event. She secured 13th place in the jumping section and finished 24th overall.

Despite not winning a medal, the Princess Royal was made a Member of the International Olympic Committee.

In 1988, she even accepted the Olympic flame in Athens ahead of the 2012 games.

The princess had been set to compete in the 1972 Munich Games, but her hopes were dashed when horse Doublet was injured during a training run.

The 10-year-old seems to have inherited the Royal Family’s horse-loving trait, looking like she thoroughly enjoyed the equestrian event on Saturday.

Luckily, Anne was able to hand the torch down to her daughter, Zara, who won a silver medal when she competed in London in 2012.

She missed out on the 2004 Athens games and Beijing 2008 due to injuries but made up for her past absence when the competition came to England.

Zara made her family proud when she and her 11-year-old horse, High Kingdom, brought a medal home for Team GB.

Last year, Princess Eugenie revealed how much the royals admire Zara’s sporting achievements, in a heartwarming social media post.

On Instagram, she reminisced about her cousin Zara Tindall’s performance at the London 2012 games, where the equestrian won silver for Team GB, describing it as ‘one of her favourite memories’.

She lovingly called Zara ‘Z’ in a post where she included several pictures from the games, capturing moments of her cheering alongside her sister, Princess Beatrice.

In the gushing social media post, Prince Andrew’s daughter wrote: ‘The Olympics is one of the best things in our world.

‘It’s such a special time watching superhuman athletes represent their countries, bringing people together and inspiring generations.
