Two equestrian medals at the Jakarta Asian Games shows that Indian riders have improved significantly, said Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, who is hoping that the country will win medals in the sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Like in many other sports, Indian Army has played a pivotal role in the growth of equestrian in India.
Courtesy Fouaad Mirza, the country won its first equestrian individual event at the Asian Games in 36 years when he secured a silver in Jakarta earlier this year. India also won a team silver in the continental event.
"We have to look forward to getting more medals in Asian Games and Olympics. As of now we are yet to reach the Olympic level," General Rawat said on the sidelines of Delhi Horse Show here Saturday.
"We are at level 1 and we need to reach level 3 but we are on the right track and we will get there."
