Silva Storai, Director at Embassy Equestrian Riding School (EIRS), said, “Since its inception in
2010, the league has established itself as one of the country’s top equestrian events. It provides riders with an essential platform to improve their fitness, build confidence, and showcase their talents on a grand stage. Previously, athletes had limited opportunities, with only the Junior
National Championship and National Equestrian Championship held between November and
February. This inspired us to create a platform for consistent competition and training. The league's popularity grew as it provided a reason for people to invest in horses and offered a
structured schedule of events.”

The Equestrian Premier League 2024 promises to be a thrilling season, with its early success
setting the tone for what is expected to be a highly competitive and entertaining series of
events in the months ahead. The finale is scheduled for November’24.
Previous winners of the EPL include Ashish Limaye, who made his debut in the Eventing
Discipline of Equestrian at the Asian Games 2023.
