Zara Phillips’s Olympic debut got underway on Sunday when she rode HighKingdom in the dressage, keeping her Olympic medal hopes alive with an impressive performance in difficult conditions following the overnight thunder storm on Saturday.
Wearing her MacWet Gloves to ensure “all grip, no slip” and maximum control and feel on the reigns, Phillips and HighKingdom scored impressive sevens and eights in the trot sections of the test. Great Britain currently occupy third position in the team contest, behind Germany and Australia.
In the crowd watching Zara were her Mother, The Princess Royal, and her Grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, as well as her husband, Mike Tindell.
Phillips is back in action on Monday in the cross-country, where the steep conditions will make the extra control and sensitivity provided by MacWet gloves will be extremely beneficial.
Designed with the rider in mind, MacWet have developed a technologically advanced glove which really is ‘all grip and no slip’.
