She 's a professional equestrienne and was happy to have a go at wheelchair rugby , a sport nicknamed 'murder ball ' , during last September 's Invictus Games . Now Zara Tindall , 33 , has turned her hand to barrel-pulling - and laughingly pretended to pull her 16st 6ft rugby player husband Mike along while striking a pose for the cameras . The moment came during a charity event to mark the end of personal trainer Rob Edmond 's marathon barrel-roll from Perthshire to Wiltshire . Taking the strain : Zara straps herself into Mr Edmond 's barrel-pulling harness . Pull ! Zara pretends to move off while husband Mike beams from his perch on the barrel . Edmond , who set off nine days and 517 miles ago , rolled the whisky barrel for 12 hours a day , only stopping to sleep and take part in comedy gigs at pubs along the way . The Bell 's Barrel of Laughs trek also saw Edmond , who was the personal trainer on ITV 's The Biggest Loser , joined by comedians including Fred MacAulay , Mark Dolan and Rufus Hound . Actress Joanna Lumley launched the challenge at the Blair Athol Distillery last week , while Zara was at the finish line at the Tedworth House Help for Heroes recovery centre . Tindall , meanwhile , joined Edmond for the final leg of the challenge - running with the personal trainer as he approached the finish line . 'It was good , ' said the 36-year-old afterwards . ' I would like to say that I did all the hard work but I just got the glory run in with him . All smiles : Zara , who gave Mr Edmond a hug as he arrived ( right ) , certainly appeared to enjoy the experience . Good effort : Mr Edmond , centre , rolled the barrel 517 miles from Perthshire to Wiltshire . Joking around : Zara , who is working towards 2016 's Olympic Games , struck a series of poses in the harness . Support : Zara had turned out to watch Mr Edmond and husband Mike cross the finish line . ' I think the most impressive thing about him is that he is just a bit of a joker and he was telling stories about putting deep heat on people 's hats to make their eyes water . 'He was talking about keeping his mind entertained and having a laugh . The one thing you see with people who have been around the military is that when they are in adversity or a tough place they always know how to have a laugh and how to make time pass . ' Edmond , whose fundraising drive was also supported by Marston 's Pubs , added : 'It 's been a monumental challenge but we 've made it and the support has been fantastic . 'We ca n't thank the British public enough . ' Tindall , who recently appeared in the Bear Grylls endurance show Mission Survive , praised the work of Help for Heroes , which is set to benefit from Edmond 's feat . 'Tedworth House is a pretty impressive place and looks the bees knees , and it is great to see how the money helps , ' he said . He also revealed that he hopes to take on some charity challenges of his own . ' I am always quite keen to do any sort of charity challenges now that I am retired , ' he said . ' I am doing a quadrathlon later this year , which I am a little bit worried about . I have always enjoyed this type of challenge , so you never know . ' Achievement : Mr Edmond , who managed to cover 60 miles a day , completed the feat in just nine days . Heavy : Mr Edmond ran the entire way and rolled the whisky barrel for up to 12 hours a day .
