ZARA TINDALL followed in her mother Princess Anne’s footsteps and became a successful equestrian, joining the list of Royal members that participated in the Olympics.
Zara also holds a special connection to Cheltenham Racecourse, which she visits every year when the horse races are on.
Zara Tindall became the first member of the Royal Family to be appointed to form part of the Cheltenham racecourse committee
What is Zara Tindall’s Cheltenham Racecourse connection?
In 2019, Zara Tindall became director of the Cheltenham Racecourse after she was appointed by The Jockey Club.
Her role helped support and promote the Equestrian Team GBR that went on to take part in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
She was deemed as the right fit after not only she bred and owned horses herself and also owned racecourses.
However, she also won a silver medal at the Olympics in London 2012 in Team Eventing.
Upon her appointment, Zara said: “I’m passionate about horseracing, particularly on the Jumps side, and the absolute pinnacle of that is Cheltenham.
“Racing is simply the most exiting sport and it’s open to all.
“It’s an honour to have been asked by Martin St Quinton on behalf of The Jockey Club to get involved in a more formal capacity and I look forward to doing my bit to support the executive team in the years to come.”
This position made Zara the first member of the Royal Family to be appointed to the racecourse committee at Cheltenham.
How many children does Zara Tindall have?
Zara Tindall has three children with her husband Mike Tindall.
The eldest is Mia Grace, who was born on January 17, 2014, and is often seen attending royal engagements with her parents.
Four years later, on June 18, 2018, Zara gave birth to Lena Elizabeth.
The name was a touching tribute to Zara’s grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Then, on March 21, 2021, Zara gave birth to their first son on the bathroom floor.
His name, Lucas Philip, is a tribute to her grandfather, Prince Philip.
Zara followed in her mother Princess Anne‘s steps and didn’t give royal titles to any of her children.
Where do Zara Tindall and Mike live?
Zara and Mike Tindall live on the Gatcombe Park Estate in Gloucestershire together with their children.
