A
dorable Mia Tindall enjoyed a fun day
out with her mum Zara last weekend.
The five year old enjoyed the sunshine
as she got a piggyback, before taking to
a bungee trampoline for a bounce. The pair were
attending the Barbury International Horse Trials
in Wiltshire, which Zara had competed in earlier
in the day. The 38 year old placed fourth on her
own horse Watkins in the three-day event, which
sees riders compete in show jumping, dressage
and cross-country.
Zara and Mia were later spotted refuelling
with an ice cream as they cooled off from the
sun. Mia loves the great outdoors and began
horse-riding aged two. Her dad Mike Tindall
appeared to be absent from the day’s fun – the
former rugby player, 40, was perhaps at home
looking after the couple’s second daughter,
one-year-old Lena.
Fans recently remarked at how loved up
the couple were as they made an appearance
on Top Gear. The affectionate pair revealed
their competitive – and daredevil – nature as
they raced each other in a car against the clock
on the BBC Two show.
Zara also revealed
she now has her HGV
licence and can drive her
horses to competitions,
but when it comes to
who does the most
driving, Mike laughed:
‘If we go out together I’ll
generally drive, because
she likes a drink!’REPORT BY KIRSTY HATCHER
