00:00 Mia Tindall, 9, and her siblings Lena, 5, and Lucas, 2, enjoyed a playful day out while
00:06 coming to cheer on their mother Zara Tindall during an equestrian event today.
00:16 The three royal siblings accompanied their father, former England rugby ace Mike Tindall,
00:22 44, on the sidelines at the The Wellington International Horse Trials in Heckfield earlier
00:26 this morning.
00:31 Zara, 42, who is the daughter of Princess Anne, 73, and the niece of King Charles, is
00:41 an impressive international equestrian competitor, having scooped a number of titles, including
00:46 an Olympic silver in the sport.
00:52 Today, she was competing on the final day of the dressage and jumping trials at the
01:00 event, which doubles as a three-day county fair, kicking off on August 26.
01:12 But the delighted children appeared more excited by the bouncy castle and teacup rides at the
01:16 venue.
01:24 Lucas and his father were seen having a blast on a carousel ride.
01:28 Earlier during the day, Mike and the children appeared very focused as they cheered Zara
01:32 on.
01:40 Lucas was seen engrossed in the competition while on his father's shoulders to see over
01:45 the crowds.
01:52 The two-year-old embraced the warm weather in black shorts, a white T-shirt and a baseball
01:57 cap.
02:05 While his older sisters both wore navy jumpers which they paired with shorts and trainers.
02:17 Mike opted for comfort in a pink long-sleeved sweatshirt and navy Chino shorts which he
02:21 also paired with a baseball cap.
02:30 Every year, the event attracts high-profile riders, who often contend in international
02:34 ranking classes.
02:43 During her ride, Zara looked sleek in white trousers, a double-breasted fitted navy blazer
02:48 with tails and a high-collared shirt.
02:57 The royal was riding her prized grey gelding, Classicals Eurostar, as she competed today.
03:09 And her horse looked equally regal, dressed in a brown hat featuring pointed horns, alongside
03:14 a neatly plaited mane.
03:21 Zara is well-known for her athletic endeavors, which include winning gold at the World Equestrian
03:26 Games in 2006, being crowned BBC's Sports Personality of the Year the same year.
03:38 The royal, who is married to former rugby union player Mike regularly competes in equestrian
03:44 events.
03:51 Earlier this month, the happy couple were pictured at the Epsom Derby together.
03:56 During the event, animal-rising protesters attempted to bring the races to a halt.
04:08 But Zara made a rare intervention and urged them to stop their action.
04:12 She said, "They [the protesters] speak about what they believe in, but do [they] completely
04:17 understand what [they're] talking about?"
04:23 Meanwhile, Mike implored the activists to go and spend a bit of time at professional
04:30 yards to see the treatment the animals receive.
04:40 As the couple basked in the sunshine at the races, Zara looked chic as ever in a white
04:44 midi dress with black stripes, topped with a coordinated hat boasting a black and white
04:54 cockade.
04:55 Meanwhile, Mike opted for a traditional morning suit, wearing grey trousers under his black
05:02 tailcoat, and a black and white stripy tie to match his wife's dress.
05:12 The couple appeared to enjoy their day at the Surrey racecourse and were snapped smiling
05:17 as they posed together.
05:25 And Zara was seen enjoying a glass of wine at one point, as well as watching the action
05:29 intently
