Great news! But we must also acknowledge that this is a sport with a very high cost of entry. I hope the federation and private clubs are working on more grassroots programs to make it accessible to talented kids from all backgrounds, not just the privileged few.

Congratulations to the entire team! Haripriya Singh's score was outstanding. It's good to see talent emerging from Gujarat and Maharashtra both. The future of Indian equestrian sports looks bright with such dedicated youngsters.

As an expat living in Mumbai, it's wonderful to see such coverage of junior sports. The discipline required for dressage is immense. Kudos to Stasya and her coach Bobin Tshering. The Amateur Riders Club seems to be doing excellent work.

Winning a national silver while balancing school is no small feat. Billabong High should be proud. Hope her story encourages more schools to support students pursuing non-mainstream sports. Jai Hind!
