I thought I read at one time that the US team trained in England with Mark Phillips. Mind you that was maybe 5 yrs ago or so.
I think Stephanie was born in October of 1997, so she will be 10 this year. As for the relationship that Zara has with her sister, I would think that it wouldn't be different that her relationship with her brother. Even though there's a huge age difference Stephanie must look up to her big sister. I have also seen pics of her playing and riding with her little sister.
Highly doubt it.will Peter Phillips have "Bunny" at his wedding do you think?
In the US, there is a lot of pressure being applied now to make the Xcountry phase safer by making the jumps 'break away' and fall down if a horse hits it, like we have in show jumping. Right now, it's basically telephone poles hard wired into place. Zero margin for error.Zara's father criticized
"A failed jump by one of the world’s finest riders and a spate of deaths have unnerved the equestrian community... A target of criticism is the former husband of England’s Princess Anne, Mark Phillips who is coach of the United States Olympic eventing team and designs many competition courses, including the one at the Red Hills Horse Trials, where Mr. Chiacchia’s fall occurred.
That's because she didn't have to call him, he was there.He also said that he was the very first person called by Anne after the birth of her very blonde daughter, not her husband. Hmmmmm.

Please, not the next doubt about paternity in the BRF... Well, in this case it doesn't matter too much, as Anne was the mother so her daughter is the queen's grandchild, no matter who's the father.
Mark Phillips and his family live in premises on Princess Anne's property, Gatcombe Park, as do Zara and her boyfriend. Mark coaches Zara, and I think his wife, Sandy, might coach her too. I get the impression Princess Anne gets on well with Mark and his new family.
I wonder how close he is to his children. Didn't he live in Australia for a while?

Actually they are great friends.
It seems to work better now they are not together.
Quick question, some posts in this thread have given me the impression that Mark is aware that he has 2 illegitimate children but that he essentially tries to ignore them and has no part in their life? Is this true; or does he spend time with them?

Something that is always revolting, IMO.Fidelity is obviously not one of his strong points, but there is something about him that attracts the ladies and they don't seem to mind that they are having an affair with a married man.
