Zara Tindall was all smiles as she tackled the soggy conditions at the Blenheim International Horse Trials. Donning knee-high boots, snug leggings and a padded gilet, she navigated the flooded grounds on the event’s final day.
In one heart-warming picture, Princess Anne’s daughter can be seen sharing a joke with a friend amidst the deluge at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
The devoted horsewoman was earlier caught on camera astride Classicals Euro Star during Friday’s dressage contests at Blenheim. Zara’s stylish presence was previously noted when she donned a chic, curve-embracing tunic leading up to the trials.

Making news earlier in the week, Zara grabbed attention as pictures emerged of her alongside Class Affair, being examined by a vet.
A decorated athlete in the equestrian world, Zara claimed dual gold upon her senior European Championships debut in Blenheim back in 2005, reports the Express.
Accolades continued as she seized an individual gold and team silver at the 2006 World Equestrian Games, topped off with a team silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
At 43, Zara has recently stepped into fashion, launching her own line of raincoats, crediting Princess Anne for instilling in her a regard for durable fashion essentials.
Her partnership with Musto and Fairfax & Favor birthed the “Odyssey” raincoat collection, retailing as high as £450. About the collaboration, Zara commented: “Combining Musto’s technical prowess and Fairfax and Favor’s quintessentially British style has resulted in a collection of coats I’m looking forward to wearing this winter.”
Zara, a mother of three, spoke to the Telegraph about how her mother’s principles have shaped her approach to fashion. She stated: “Mum taught me the importance of having good quality clothing that keeps you warm and comfortable outdoors.”
“As a sportswoman who spends most of my time in nature, this is more important than ever to help me stay at my best.”
Even though Zara is a member of the Royal Family, she does not rely on public funds and earns her own income to provide for her family. A Royal insider has recently pointed out that their financial independence is not linked to their Royal status.
Together with her spouse Mike Tindall, she is involved in several commercial ventures, including Mike Tindall’s recent venture into the drinks industry with Blackeye Gin, co-founded with his friend James Haskell.
A source close to the couple said: “Mike and Zara have been very good at making sure that all the money they get is through their own hard work.”
