Polo-playing Jordan shows she's more than just a pretty face at charity match

Considering she is a glamour model who has risen to fame through a racy alter-ego, it is a little surprising to hear that Jordan had a lot in common with Princes William and Harry today.

But like the two Royals, the celebrity - also known as Katie Price - played in a charity polo match to help raise money for a cause close to her heart.

Competing in aid of the Mark Davies Injured Riders fund, the 30-year-old played with spirit at the event in Cowdray Park in Midhurst.

Despite this, she still managed to maintain her groomed appearance revealing flawless hair and make-up after the energetic match.

Katie has long spoken about her love of horses and started riding when she was just seven-years-old.

The mum-of-three has written a series of children books called Katie Price's Perfect Ponies and now intends to dedicate herself to starting a career in competitive horse-riding.

With her sights set on the 2012 Olympics, Katie competed in her first professional dressage earlier this month and was ranked an impressive sixth in her debut.

Not bad for a reality-tv-loving glamour model.
