Mia, Lena and Lucas Tindall have received an adorable gift that they share with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, it has been revealed.
Speaking to OK!, equestrian Rebecca Ferry opened up about gifting 10-year-old Mia, six-year-old Lena and three-year-old Lucas a Shetland pony so they can learn to ride.
Their mother Zara Tindall has ridden horses professionally – even earning herself a silver medal in the London Olympics in 2012.
Rebecca said that Zara’s children even share the pony with their royal cousins, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s children.
She said: “My children had a little black Shetland called Dermot and I wanted him to have the best life, so I gave him to Zara for her children.
“The cousins rode on him too. He’s an incredible little pony; everybody loves Dermot. He’s adored, and rightly so.”
Speaking to the publication, Rebecca also praised 42-year-old Zara. She said: “She’s an incredible, accomplished athlete. As a mum of three young children, she’s balancing her life and her world, and achieving at a really high level in a sport that is dominated by men. She is a trailblazer in many ways.
“My experience in sport is the same as some female riders who have children.
“It’s like: ‘Hmm, how can you be riding a horse when you have kids?’ because it’s a risky sport as well. There are a lot of similarities from that perspective.”
Zara’s husband Mike Tindall – who is a former rugby professional – previously shared how close their children are to George, Charlotte and Louis.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Mike spoke of their bond: “Lena and obviously Louis are similar ages and Mia’s sort of in between Charlotte and George, and then you’ve got Peter’s children Savannah and Isla who are just a little bit older.”
He added: “James [Prince Edward son] is, well, not exactly the ring leader, but he’s the oldest. So, yeah, it’s going to be a good little group.”
