Last week Katie made her competitive dressage debut on her horse Glamour Girl, which bought for her as a 30th birthday present by husband Peter André.

Dressed demurely in traditional dressage gear, Katie came a very respectable sixth in a field of 23 entrants – commanding respect for her riding skills from the sport’s cognoscenti. Ms Price has been training under Olympic horseman Andrew Gould at his stable Priory Dressage in Sussex, which is also where her two beautiful horses are stabled. I for one would love to see Katie performing for Great Britain in the 2012 Olympics and bringing a bit of gloss and glamour to proceedings.
