She may only be a year old, but little Savannah Phillips took dog-walking in her stride when she was spotted with one of her grandmother Princess Anne's bull terriers.
The adorable youngster, the daughter of Peter and Autumn Phillips, was with her family at a showjumping event at Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate in the Cotswolds this weekend.
And little Savannah showed she is already fond of animals when she led the dog for a stroll before practising her riding on top of a buggy.

Peter and Autumn's daughter had previously enjoyed the same event with her parents in the late summer sunshine last year.
 
She may well have found a future career path at the event, following in the footsteps of her famous grandmother and auntie.
Savannah's aunt Zara, married to rugby player Mike Tindall this time last year, was part of the Team GB equestrian side which won silver at London 2012.

Her grandmother, Princess Anne, meanwhile, is also an Olympian, having competed at the Montreal Games in 1976.
Savannah, who was born in December 2010, is the Queen's first great-grandchild, and is 12th in line to the throne.
