Mirza, sponsored by Embassy Group, had to choose either Dajara 4 or Seigneur Medicott.
Difficult decision
“It was a difficult decision to make as both horses are really good. However, at the Olympics, we have two rounds of show jumping after cross-country, which is Medicott’s weak link. That was the main reason why we chose Dajara,” Mirza said at a media interaction.
The relationship between the rider and his horse forms a key part of the sport, with a bond developed over years of being together.
“I saw and rode Dajara for the first time in 2019. I knew right away that she was a top horse. After a conversation with Jitu (Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director at Embassy Group) and Silva Storai (Embassy International Riding School Director), we were able to procure her,” Mirza said.
