Zara Tindall stepped out in a leopard print dress as she headed to the World Horse Welfare Conference 2025, alongside her mother, Princess Anne.
The keen equestrian appeared on the stage at the conference as part of a discussion called “Through the Horse’s Eyes”, in which she criticised the role of Brexit on horses’ welfare.
Mike Tindall’s wife wore the stunning dress by Dea Kudiball, known as the “RumerDEA”.
The midi-style fit came alive with the leopard print and longer sleeves on the number.

It is structured with a slim-fit waist and Mrs Tindall displayed its style by wearing her hair pulled back.
It retails online for £249 and is a fabulous look, particularly in these winter months.
The King’s niece wore the dress while discussing the complications Brexit has caused with commuting horses across Europe.

FEATHER & STITCH
Speaking to journalist David Eades, Mrs Tindall said: “If we’re talking about legislation and how we have gone back in time, sort of post Brexit, our travel time for horses and their welfare has definitely gone downhill.
“You know, I took a horse abroad at the end of October, and I know people are doing it less and less now because it’s such hard work.
“It’s more stressful on the horses than it used to be. It’s got worse.”
Princess Anne’s daughter explained that even though technology is “so much better”, the travel time is “so much longer”.

Mrs Tindall explained: “That poll we did before is like so much longer, it’s incredible.
“To prepare your horse for a competition or even just to travel it comfortably. That has definitely something that has gone back in time.”
Zara, a patron of World Horse Welfare, told the audience that focusing on the welfare of horses is “such a great thing” because “it’s not just health, it’s everything”.
She continued: “It’s how you look after the horses. It’s their environment, and understanding their environment.

“There’s also very much recreational horses, and there’s this kind of blueprint that’s out there, you know, on how to care for your horse.
“But actually, you know that’s mucking it out, feeding it, you know, that kind of thing. That blueprint can be expanded on how you understand the animal, how you care for it.”
The royal shared that her horses “get looked after very well”, with them being treated “like an athlete”.
“I think for us, you know, getting people to understand how our welfare for our horses is… The wider public, because I don’t think they really understand that much…
“It’s important that they see us doing the right thing,” Mrs Tindall said.
