New Delhi, June 17 -- The experienced duo of Shruti Vora and Fouaad Mirza were named among India's 19 rider-horse pairs for equestrian events in the Asian Games to be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4. The ad hoc committee, constituted in March by the Indian Olympic Association on the directions of Delhi HC, named the squad for all three disciplines: eventing, dressage and show jumping. Each event will be represented by 4 rider-horse pairs. The dressage team will be led by Vora who won three silver medals at the 2025 Asian Championships. The 55-year-old will ride Magnanimous. This will be Vora's third Asian Games following her appearances in 2010 Guangzhou and 2014 Incheon. In 2024, she became the first Indian to win a three-star GP event, achieving the feat when she won at the FEI Dressage World Cup held in Lipica, Slovenia. A year later, her three medals at the Asian Championships in Pattaya, Thailand underlined her class and quality. Gaurav Pundir (Milli), Jai Sud (Goofy La Perla), Hriday Chheda (Dono Di Maggio) complete the team. Chheda, who rode Chemxpro Emerald in Hangzhou en route to the team gold, is the only member of the 2023 Asian Games group. The committee has also named two reserve combinations each in dressage and show jumping while three-day eventing has three reserve pairs. Anush Agarwalla and Sudipti Hajela, who were part of the team that won the dressage gold at the 2023 Hangzhou Games, have been named reserves. "The athletes (horse/rider pairs) have been selected based on recommendations of the respective selection committees after going through the results posted by the probables and as per the selection criteria for the Asian Games 2026," the committee said. Mirza, a double silver medallist from the 2018 Asian Games, makes a comeback in eventing. Mirza will be accompanied by Ashish Limaye, Ahaan Kumar , and Arjan Nagra. The show jumping team will be represented by Maryk Sahney (Gold Run), Abhishek Chopra (C'est Lui Des Rosiers), Yashaan Zubin Khambatta (Inca's Big Think), Niharika Singhania (First to Cash Out) with Maryk Sahney (Cashtender) and Ashtray Butta (Chakira Z) being the reserves.
