Para dressage world challenge

Para Dressage World Challenge: The Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) will host the Para-Dressage World Challenge 2025 in October for the first time at the Modi Equestrian Academy in Meerut (North Zone) and Surge Stables in Bengaluru (South Zone) in October. With a vision to create India’s first-ever representation at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics, the EFI also organised the first-ever FEI-backed Para-Dressage Workshop at the Modi Equestrian Academy in Meerut from January 4-5.

The two-day workshop included a visual presentation, introducing participants to the discipline, followed by a demonstration event showcasing the skills and collaboration essential to para-dressage. Attendees were provided with an in-depth understanding of the discipline, covering its unique requirements, specialised equipment, and the characteristics of horses suited for para-equestrian events—such as suitable experience, calm temperament, and exceptional trainability to adapt to riders’ unique needs.

To enhance the experience, the workshop featured specially trained para-dressage horses, allowing participants to gain firsthand insight.
