We are really in HIGH KINGDOM!

I like ZARA's horse inspection costume! So much of colour and feminine. It can still be improved. How attractive if most of our costumes are similar to this? ;-)

Wow! Is ZARA riding fast on High Kingdom or what in cross-country? I am still impressed by her effort and performance. Her costume seems a little bulky. I understand it is due to the riders' protective gear. It should be made more user-friendly. There should be more red and blue of the Union Jack for that energy boost.

She faired very well in the Individual and Team Events. She helped bag Silver for the latter. The show jumping round blazer is too black and conservative. It also absorbs too much energy (-_-)...zzz... Luckily the red top lapels and pocket seams help brighten her. A small change such as a Union Jack helmet may brighten things up and release her potential for gold! 

ZARA calming High Kingdom during the dressage stage...

...and here we go!

 I like the matching top hat and horse's cap ;-)

Acknowledging her fans in style.

With a first medal, an Olympic silver, for the royals in a Diamond Jubilee year, who says the royals are bad? It is time to apply fashion in sports for that royalty boost ;-)
