The Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) recently announced that Anush Agarwalla, who earned an unprecedented individual bronze medal at the 2023 Asian Games, has acquired a quota in the dressage category for the Paris Olympics. Agarwalla was assigned the quota based on his performance in four FEI events: Wroclaw, Poland (73.485%), Kronenberg, Netherlands (74.4%), Frankfurt, Germany (72.9%), and Mechelen, Belgium (74.2%). The quota belongs to the country, and the National Federation will hold a final trial before submitting the final name to the organisers.
Dressage (a French term that most usually translates to “training”) is a type of horse riding practiced for display and competition, as well as an art that is sometimes followed exclusively for the sake of mastery.
