Mia Tindall brings pet dog to support her mother Zara at horse trials

Three-year-old Mia Tindall brought an extra supporter along as she attended the Gatcombe Horse Trials to cheer on her mother Zara.

She was pictured devotedly walking the family pet Boxer, called Spey, at the event.

Mia was joined by her former rugby player father Mike Tindall as they attended the horse trials in Gloucestershire, which took place on Mother's Day.

The Tindalls also live on the estate. Mia was born at nearby NHS hospital the Gloucestershire Royal in 2014.

Mrs Zindall last year missed out on a place at the Rio Olympics after she failed to make the equestrian team because of problems with her horse. 

She was part of the silver medal winning team at London 2012.

Mr and Mrs Tindall announced at the end of last year that they had sadly lost the baby they were expecting just a month after they announced the pregnancy.

A spokesman for the couple said:  "Very sadly, Zara and Mike Tindall have lost their baby. At this difficult time, we ask that everyone respects their privacy."
