Zara Tindall looks sharp in a gray blazer and trouser combination as she attends the Christmas gathering at Cheltenham Racecourse

Zara Tindall looked sharp in an elegant two-piece suit today as she arrived for a Christmas gathering at Cheltenham Racecourse.

King Charles’ niece, 42, was spotted heading to the racecourse in Gloucestershire with her husband Mike Tindall, 45, as they prepared for day one of the venue’s seasonal festivities.

Princess Anne’s daughter Zara cut a stylish figure in a gray knitted blazer and matching trousers.

Making a stylish choice for the colder weather, the royal paired the look with a navy blue sweater and a shiny pair of black leather gloves.

For her shoes, she wore black chunky suede boots that matched the smart ensemble perfectly.

The mother-of-three looked typically chic and added a touch of colorful style with a maroon red headband.

She accessorized the look with a glittering pair of medium-sized gold hoop earrings and a matching gold and leather shoulder bag.

Zara sported a nude makeup look and added just a small amount of black mascara and dark brown eyebrow gel to complete it.

Meanwhile, her husband Mike Tindall looked dashing in a smart navy suit jacket, bright blue shirt and a maroon red tie.

The former rugby international and MBE was seen walking around the grounds with Phil Vickery and other esteemed guests.

The man and woman were photographed when they arrived parading at Cheltenham Racecourse in the happiest mood.

The Olympian also had a joyful time as she attended her cousin Kate Middleton’s carol service at Westminster Abbey last Friday.

The Royal was joined by her brother Peter Phillips, 46, who both put on a cheerful display as they entered the Christmas service.

Zara looked radiant in a deep purple winter coat. She completed the outfit with a matching pair of statement earring shoes and a crocodile leather bag.

For the occasion, she opted for a simple yet elegant makeup look, complete with a nude lip and a touch of eyeliner.

Zara, who recently announced she will be working part-time in equestrian sports so she can be more present for her three children, styled her blonde locks into a sleek bun for the occasion.

Zara appeared to attend the event without her husband Mike Tindall.

Instead, her brother, Peter Phillips, Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest grandchild, joined her tonight, along with his daughters Savanah, 12, and Isla, 11.

The aim of the concert, which was also attended by King Charles and Queen Camilla, was to ‘recognize the selfless efforts of communities across the UK and highlight the importance of coming together to support each other’.

Led by the Princess, it is designed to bring people of all faiths (and none) together by combining both traditional and modern elements.

The news comes as the equestrian champion and eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II revealed that her professional riding career has become “very part-time now” so she can spend more time with her three young children.

In an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly magazine, Zara – who won silver in a team event for Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics – revealed how her approach to competitive riding changed after having children.

Zara and her husband Mike Tindall – ex-rugby player and former reality show contestant – are parents to Mia, nine, and Lena, five, and son Lucas, two.

“I work very part-time now,” she told the magazine. ‘I only have four horses, so hopefully I have enough time to look after my children and still compete. I hope I make better decisions. I’m certainly not going to everything now.’

‘When I had 15 horses, I was everywhere every weekend, but now I choose a lot [events] around the kids and holidays and trying to be around as much as possible.”

Known as much for her sporting prowess as her sartorial choices, Zara attends equestrian events all over the world, both as a formidable athlete when she competes and as a trendsetting fashionista when she is a spectator.

Her illustrious career includes gold at the 2005 European Eventing Championships and silver at the 2006 World Equestrian Games.

Zara has also previously been crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year and has been nicknamed the Royal Olympian.

On the subject of motherhood, Zara spoke candidly about her struggle to get her body back into shape after having children. She described pregnancy as a ‘shock to your system’ and how your body changes so much.

She told the magazine that in addition to the natural aging process, childbirth was “a huge thing for women,” and for her, the added dimension of being a professional sportswoman meant that some of the physical changes took her by surprise.

For example, Zara admitted that it took her a long time to realize that she could no longer maintain the same regimen she had when she was younger, such as the foods she ate and the types of exercises she did.

But the hard lessons she learned, Zara said, will serve her well as she teaches her children.

She said she will teach her daughters to constantly monitor how their bodies are doing and changing, Zara said, because women “definitely” have it harder than men, referring to the various hormonal changes the female body goes through, such as menopause .

Despite competing in fewer professional equestrian events so she can spend more time with her family, Zara says she will probably ‘always’ feel guilty when she is away from the children, but she has come to accept this as part of motherhood.
