Biography[edit]
Early life and family[edit]
When She was 12 years old her family moved to Hisar (Haryana) where she had her first interaction with horses. One evening when his father took her to a small horse riding club with army horses, She had no clue that the day was gonna give a purpose to his undirected life, rather She thought of it to be just another adventurous sport She was gonna try. But his very first ride made her believe that this was what She wanted to do day and night, nothing that made her feel so alive, happy and most of all empowered . All of a sudden the whole viberation of her life changed, waking up at 5 in the morning no matter what time she had slept last night just for riding and working out in the evening without fail gave her a direction in life.
Trail[edit]
She, started competing after one year of riding and since then She have won number of medals and honours. She won a gold medal in his first Junior National Championship. She have since then being competing on regular army horse whereas on the other hand she was competing with imported and highly trained warmbloods. She have never really received proper training, she have been training herself through internet or books. She have had a way with horses and she have been very natural with her riding. She had been winning all the events with a moderately good horse with no training, the point is if She get a horse of his own and a bit of training than even the sky wont be the limit. she have been competing for 5 years now and we have had our set of ups and downs , sometimes it was her performance which was out standing and made the horse do more than his capacity and sometimes it was both her and his horse giving our best , but this has never been enough because having a horse and a trainer is a must , she cant go on riding just by reading books and watching videos and visualise her self riding the horse the right way rather than actually riding it.
