Additionally Zara was crowned world eventing champion in Germany in 2006 and this led the UK to vote her the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
The royal was not able to compete at Badminton Horse Trials last year due to the pandemic. Of this she said, “Having horses like Class Affair and Watkins to aim at Badminton was exciting and gave everything a focus; now those goals aren’t there, it’s quite weird and you have to deal with the disappointment.”
She went on to say that she’s lucky to be able to spend time with her horses during lockdown, a perk that not everyone could enjoy.

Zara told a Horse & Hound magazine that she enjoys the pressure of competing: “I love riding for my country; those have been the best experiences of my career, to get your horse to that level is what it’s all about, and what we all strive for.”
