First Indian to win a three-star grand prix in dressage is Shruti Vora

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.
