It is virtually unheard of to have a racehorse galloping next to their daughter, but Snow Leopardess, who caught the nation’s imagination in the run up to the 2022 Grand National, and her filly, Red Panda, have proven that it is possible.

Snow Leopardess, who is owned by Andrew Fox-Pitt, son of William Fox-Pitt’s mother Marietta, was filmed working on her trainer Charlie Longsdon’s Cotswold gallops earlier this week. And cantering alongside her was Red Panda, who is a three-year-old.
