We're back in Gloucestershire with Zara Tindall for Part Two of our very special chat, and this time, after a bit of Pippa persuasion, Mike Tindall joins the conversation!

Zara chats balancing family life with her eventing career and facing the fear as you get older.

Plus, Mike joins us to share the story of how he and Zara first met, his rather ambitious attempts at horse riding and what he's learnt from being part of the eventing world. We also hear why rugby players and eventers have more in common than you might think, and Mike offers some rather questionable Top Tack Tips!

We've loved sharing this two-part conversation with you. Enjoy!

Zara on life in the spotlight and dealing with the press
