Jordan eyes 2012 Olympics as she makes competitive dressage debut... and no, she's not horsing about

Jordan made her competitive dressage debut yesterday finishing sixth in a field of 27.

The glamour model who is planning to take the sport seriously has her eyes set on the 2012 Olympic games.

Dressed in silk white jodhpurs and black jacket, celebrity rider number 24 romped home at the Hickstead showjumping ground in Sussex.

Riding a horse appropriately named Glamour girl the 30-year-old did not go unnoticed as she rode her steed through the course.

Having had a breast reduction, the model turned rider eased through the field.

Her mother Amy was among the onlookers but husband Peter Andre, casually dressed in a white baseball cap, just missed his wife's debut in the international arena after arriving late.

The star, real name Katie Price, scored 153 out of a maximum 240 marks and notched an overall score of 63.75 per cent.

As this was just the preliminary stage her score will not be recorded but she expressed her excitement for the sport.

She said: "I really enjoyed it, I've got a rosette which is really good for me. I didn't come here to win it, I just wanted to participate and take part. It was a great crowd.

Jordan gives husband Peter Andre a big kiss after her debut ride.
