Christina did not provide any further insight but instead shared a video from the Horses Trust in a follow-up post.

The antiques expert has previously shared clips of going horseback riding with her family in a rare insight.

The 43-year-old, known for her appearances on BBC's Bargain Hunt, began her television career on Flog It! before a series producer invited her to join the team as an expert.

After spending 15 years honing her craft at various auction houses, she took the leap in 2014 to establish her own business in Shropshire, her home county.

She relishes her job's variety, saying no two days are alike.

The esteemed auctioneer shared: "One day, I can be covered in cobwebs rummaging around in someone's loft looking for priceless treasures; the next, I can be giving a lecture to a group on early English porcelain."

She expressed her deep passion for the antiques industry, stating: "The antiques industry isn't just a vocation, it's a way of life."

Bargain Hunt airs on weekdays on BBC One from 12.15pm
