The Tindall family were out in
full force on Sunday as they soaked up the glorious sunshine at the Festival
of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park.
Equestrian star Zara was
joined by her husband Mike, 43, daughters, Mia, eight, and Lena,
four, and one-year-old son Lucas. Taking place at her mother Princess Anne’s
royal estate in Gloucestershire, Zara braved the heat and took part in the
prestigious event.
In one sweet photo, the
Queen’s granddaughter was spotted petting a horse alongside baby Lucas. Smiling
from ear to ear, the doting mum-of-three watched on proudly as her fearless tot
attempted to pat the horse’s nose.
Other photos showed little
Lucas getting up close and personal with his new equine friend. From the
comfort of Zara’s arms, the youngster could be seen grasping the horse’s reigns
with a look of pure delight.
Zara’s one-year-old son got stuck in
The mother-son duo
unintentionally wore matching outfits for their fun-filled family day out.
Zara, 41, donned a pair of denim shorts and a navy polo shirt, whilst Lucas was
dressed in a pair of pinstriped shorts, a navy top, and a light blue denim
bucket hat. Prepped for his adventurous afternoon, the youngster was moreover
seen wearing a pair of adorable white Velcro trainers.
This weekend marks the first
celebration of the equestrian festival since 2019, according to the event’s
website. The organizers called the event “a true showcase of the sport,
from grassroots to the elite level”.
Little Lucas made a new furry friend
Zara is a renowned and
accomplished British equestrian who regularly takes part in major competitions.
Back in 2012, the royal enjoyed success at the London Olympics winning
a team silver medal, and more recently in September 2021, Zara formed part of
the GB event team that won the Nations Cup at Aachen.
The young tot enjoyed his action-packed day
Zara’s Gatcombe Park
appearance comes after she recently celebrated her 11-year wedding
anniversary with her husband Mike. The royal exchanged vows with the
former rugby player on 30th July 2011 in Scotland.
While they rarely post public
tributes to one another on their relationship milestone, it’s possible that the
duo privately marked their special day with their three young children: Mia,
Lena, and Lucas.
