Equestrian sports need more coverage in India. We have such a rich history with horses, from the Maratha cavalry to traditional polo. Events like these can inspire the next generation here.

While it's good to see the sport growing, I hope the organisers are ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. 120 km is a very long distance for the horses. The veterinary checks are crucial.

The level of organisation sounds world-class. The Boudheeb Village seems like a fantastic facility. Makes me wonder if India could develop a similar dedicated equestrian hub to boost the sport.

EUR 307,000 prize pool! That's serious investment. Gulf nations are really pushing sports tourism. We should take notes for events like the Rajasthan Polo Cup or the Delhi Horse Show. 🏇
