Inaara Mehta Luthria from Amateur Riders' Club won the gold medal in the Dressage Children I category at the Concours De Dressage National (CDN), organised by the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) in Mumbai.
The 13-year-old Luthria secured first place and finished her round with an average score of 67.175 per cent while riding on the horse Dasha Deluxe.
Siddharth Nanda came second and finished his round with an average score of 58.625 per cent while riding on the horse Dream Boy.
After winning the gold medal, Luthria said, "The competition was a significant learning experience for me. It taught me the importance of patience and staying calm under pressure. I realized that the key is to keep moving forward, no matter the challenges I face."
Hailing Luthria's win, her coach Bobin said, "Having a dedicated facility like the racecourse is essential for young riders like Inaara to continue winning for the state. Competitions like the EFI CDN require consistent training, and without proper facilities, it's challenging to prepare them for success."
