In a heartfelt moment at the Hereford races, Zara Tindall opened up about her passion for her equestrian career.
The daughter of Princess Anne, Zara took a brief pause from her busy schedule to express her love for horses and the sport she cherishes so deeply.
This rare glimpse into her professional life came during a recent interview with Sky Sports Racing.
On Monday, Zara showcased her horse, a mare named A Little Something, which she bred herself.
This impressive horse is the offspring of Dartmouth, a stallion that once competed for Zara’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, at Royal Ascot.
The connection to her family’s legacy in horse racing runs deep, and it’s clear that this tradition holds significant meaning for her.
As Zara spoke about her mare, her enthusiasm was palpable.
“She’s a lovely mare,” she said, adding, “Don’t you think she’s sweet?” Her pride in A Little Something was evident, especially when she highlighted the horse’s jumping ability.
However, Zara also noted that the mare needed a bit more courage to excel.
“I enjoy teaching them,” she remarked, emphasizing her commitment to nurturing her horses’ skills.
Despite her busy life, Zara reflected on how much she misses spending time with her racehorses.
“I never get to do it enough, so it’s nice to actually make it work,” she shared.
Her words resonated with the many who understand the balancing act between personal passion and professional obligations.
For Zara, this connection to her horses is more than just a job; it’s a vital part of her identity.
Having made a name for herself in the equestrian world, Zara’s accolades are impressive.
She won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award and became the Eventing World Champion in 2006.
