Zara Tindall and her family had fun at the Hartpury International Horse Trials on Sunday, as former rugby player Mike Tindall and the couple's children visited the royal equestrian at the event. 

Mike was joined by daughters Mia, ten, and Lena, six, as well as young son Lucas, three, who is growing up so fast! 

An onlooker told HELLO! that Zara was joined by her husband and children during a break in the trials, saying: "Mike and the kids turned up for lunch, they strolled down the middle of the stalls and looked at things for sale.

"It was all very normal and no one bats an eyelid, they're part of the community."

Photos from the event show Zara carrying her son as she walked alongside Lena, as well as Mike holding hands with Mia.

After their meal, the mum-of-three had to tear herself away from her family to get back to the competition, in which she competed in three events, coming fourth in the British championship and taking home £800. 

Her family sensibly left before her success, however, so they could avoid being in the sun for too long.

Who are Zara and Mike Tindall's children?

Mia Grace Tindall, ten, arrived in the world on 17 January 2014 at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, weighing 7lbs 12oz. At the time, proud dad Mike posted on X, then Twitter: "Thanks so much for all your kind messages. Definitely the best day of my life today, so happy! The girls are both doing great!"

Zara and Mike later introduced gorgeous Mia to the world in HELLO!, telling ITV's News at 10: "We did it because people wanted it. We had control over it."

Zara and Mike welcomed Lena Elizabeth Tindall, six, on 18 June 2018 at the Stroud Maternity Unit of Gloucestershire Royal hospital, weighing a healthy 9lbs 3oz.

A statement from Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal, Captain Mark Phillips and Mike's parents, Mr Philip and Mrs Linda Tindall, have been informed and are delighted with the news. The baby's name will be confirmed in due course."

"It's always been good for us being two professional sportspeople. It's a bit clichéd but you understand each other, what your motivations are. I think that's why we gel."
