Was Tiger Lily bred by the Queen?

From this Hello article to mark the Queen's 78th birthday: Tiger Lily is from the Queen's Tinkerbelle. The photo no longer opens so I found this BBC report where the photo opens.

Tiger Lily is now 6 years old and with another win this week, it could be Zara's horse for the London Olympics.

Thumbs down New Biography
I have just read Brain Hoey's biography of Zara and I was really disappointed! He filled the book with all the same things repeated over and over again. I was hoping for a book with a little bit of something different not just old news stories re-hashed. The pictures were also not all that great. There have been loads of great pictures of Zara over the years, with William, the Queen, even The Duchess of York.
Has anyone else read it and if so what do you think?

Wow Tiger Lilly is only 6? Thats very young for tis level of eventing. s/he looks like a cross breeding of the piebald drum horses and the warm blood carriage/riding horses the queen owns. That would be really great if it were a homebred horse she akes to the games, but I think Toytown is the #1 game in town!

This is the link to Zara's results for last weekend.

Aston-Le-Walls (3) One Day Event

This is the link to her entries for this weekend.

Brockenhurst Park

I'm very impressed by her dedication and effort. I've never been to England so I have no real insight into distances travelled and the logistics involved.

Due to the disruptions that the weather has caused to this season, I understand that she may feel it necessary to get her horses out for their benefit but I'm a bit concerned for her. With all the training and then the travelling and then the competing and then the travelling home, it does seem to me that this weekend is an exceptionally heavy work load.

14 hours days plus travelling time are the rule rather than the exception during the competition season. At the end of the season the horses have a month or so off in the paddock, and the riders get some down time. Then it's time to start bringing the horses back into fitness.

Zara gets the weekend off. Brockenhurst has been cancelled due to waterlogging.

This HorseandHound thread says it all.

I think it would have been very tough for her emotionnally to compete there since one of her friends died at this event last year...

Yes, of course. I had forgotten about that. That probably explains why I was feeling anxious for Zara competing at Brockenhurst.

It's always nice to see her mucking in the washing of the horses, but in Pic 3, she shows us too much, however unintentionally of course. One hopes she will wear jeans that hug her waist better or a belt next time, though this won't be as comfortable.

I had not noticed that before you've mentioned it, CasiraghiTrio

And I also liked the pic you've mentioned as to the very funny face she made,
I wonder what she was asked or what she said at that moment..

Here are some great shots from today at the competition, especially as to
the hard job the horse has to fulfill:

Fantastic that she withdrew her newbies from Cleobury. It was just too soon after Burghley.

Cleobury Mortimer One Day Event

I'm so glad that she is focusing on herself and getting plenty of rest before the big one that is coming up soon in Italy.
