Zara Tindall enjoyed a mother-daughter day with her eldest child Mia today as they visited Cheltenham racecourse this afternoon.
Princess Anne‘s daughter, 41, was elegant in a navy coat and fuchsia blouse as she arrived for the second day of the April meeting at the Gloucestershire racecourse.
Meanwhile her eldest daughter Mia, nine, looked pretty in a pink coat, which she wore with dark denim jeans and a pair of hiking boots with purple laces.
The two appeared in high spirits as they arrived at the racecourse today, with Mia playfully holding open the door for her mother.
It’s not the first time that Mia has visited Cheltenham – having joined her parents and younger sister Lena at the racecourse for New Year’s Day earlier this year.

Meanwhile she has also often joined her family at various Horse Trials across the country over the years.
While it is not known if Mia is following in her mother’s footsteps to take up riding, the nine-year-old has often watched her compete.
It comes after Mia joined Zara alongside her father Mika and younger sister Lena for the royal Easter service earlier this month.
Mia donned a £84 navy and ivory dress with embroidered flowers from Rachel Riley for the occasion.
She opted for an elegant dress from Reiss, adorned with orange, burgundy and green floral details.
The number’s sleeves and skirt were bordered with navy at the hem and collar, which matched her navy headband and its blue flower made of fabric.
Her blonde tresses were coifed in a neat ponytail, and her only visible piece of jewellery was a small silver and golden bracelet.
Mia’s younger sister Lena, four, wore a pink floral dress from the same designer, priced at 3268.
Earlier this year, Mike revealed that his daughters were following in his footsteps to play rugby during an appearance on The One Show.
The former England Rugby Pro, who is married to the Queen‘s eldest granddaughter Zara Tindall, said his four-year-old daughter Lena has joined a local team for under sixes.

But Mike, who previously spoke of how his eldest daughter Mia plays rugby for the same team, said: ‘It’s always hard through winter when it’s cold to get them out the door.’
He added: ‘I’ve found with the girls, that battle to still go and get muddy is still a battle. Once they are there, they’re okay.’
And after presenter Alex Jones quipped it was the same with boys, Mike said: ‘We’ll find out with Lucas, I’m judging that he’s not going to be an issue with getting muddy. He loves throwing himself around. We’ll see though!’
Appearing on the show, Mike explained that both his girls are playing rugby, saying they are in a weekly league.
He said: ‘Lena’s just joined because she’s just four, she’s doing under sixes.

‘It’s always hard through winter when it’s cold to get them out the door. They love it when they get there but every rugby parent will know that battle.
‘I’ve found with the girls, that battle to still go and get muddy is still a battle. Once they are there, they’re okay.’
Mike previously revealed how his eldest daughter Mia had started to play rugby last year.
Speaking on an episode of his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby last year, he said: ‘It’s always hard to get Mia to go, she’s like ‘I don’t like it’ and then you get there, and she’s off.’
Speaking on the podcast, Mike explained: ‘Mia scored a couple… it was an eight-all thriller in the first game and then a nine-all thriller in the second.’
Speaking about his daughter’s involvement in tag rugby, Mike later added: It’s funny how much she’s changed over the last, sort of, this year, since they’ve been back.
‘[She’s] figuring out how to avoid people because before they’d just all be really bunched in.
‘Now they’re getting more, where they run across but then they’re all stepping back, and people are just falling around.’
