Zara Phillips, who welcomed daughter Mia with husband Mike Tindall in January, has likened being a parent to looking after a “high performance horse”. Speaking about the transition into motherhood on CNN, the equestrian said: “I’ve really enjoyed it. In a funny kind of way it’s like having another high performance horse on your hands. You’ve got to get them in a schedule and feed.” Zara added that while she didn’t consider herself as maternal before, she is thoroughly enjoying every moment with her daughter: “I wasn’t maternal at all before I had Mia but I’m lucky she’s very good.” The Olympic medalist also revealed that her return to work has been more difficult than she had expected, saying that she took a very gradual approach to getting back in the saddle. “I sat on a horse about five weeks afterwards for about ten minutes,” she said, adding, “I was teaching my muscle groups again what they were doing – you know I’ve never not ridden for that long.”
