Shruti Vora made history when she emerged victorious from the FEI Dressage World Cup in Lipica, Slovenia, to become the first Indian to win a three-star Grand Prix equestrian competition.

53-year-old Astride Magnanimous Vora earned her first Minimum Eligibility Requirement (MER) point for the upcoming Paris Olympics with a score of 67.761% in the extremely demanding category.

Anush Agarwalla, a fellow countryman, has been favored to compete in dressage at her first Olympics thus far. To qualify for the Games, a rider-horse combination must to have at least two MERs, according to the qualification standard.

Vora is undoubtedly the first person to win a Grand Prix-3, or CDI-3, in any kind of horse competition. Elite European riders typically achieve scores between 72 and 73%, and I think Magnanimous has the capacity to routinely achieve such levels.

We could have scored a lot even in Slovenia, but I made mistakes. In two months, developing a relationship with a horse is not simple, but we are headed in the right direction, according to Vora.
