Zara Tindall walks a dog after getting back in the saddle to compete at international horse trials

Zara Tindall was seen walking a dog after a busy back in the saddle to compete at an international horse trials.

Princess Anne's daughter is taking part in the Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials, in Norfolk, one of the major equestrian events of the year.

She was later spotted out and about that the event walking what appeared to be a small black working Cocker Spaniel.

Zara and the rest of the family are known to own three pet pooches -  black Labradors Storm and Pepper, who are mother and daughter, and Blink the Brindle Boxer.  

Earlier today, the silver olympic medalist was grinning cheek to cheek as she was seen riding her Grey Gelding horse Classicals Euro Star fondly known as Casper.

Zara, 44, looked sporty in her navy and white riding uniform, including a helmet and boots.

She appeared happy to be back on horseback after she was spotted at the Grand National's Ladies Day earlier this month with her husband Mike Tindall and their 12-year-old daughter Mia.

Smiling, gasping, frowning - and sometimes even passionately pointing at the tracks - Mia was in full fan mode amid the festivities at the Grand National, channelling her notoriously 'cheeky' cousin Prince Louis, who is just as known for his antics.

In one instance Zara jokingly frowned at her mini-me daughter's theatrics, as the pair shared a playful moment. 

Still looking cheery, the King's niece was also spotted walking around the event with what appeared to be a small black working Cocker Spaniel
