After bagging gold on day 2 Freya Deshmane said, “The past few months have been hectic with competitions, injuries, and exams, so this win is a great way to wrap up 2024. My goal is always to give the horses a good experience and have fun, which we did.
This victory wouldn’t be possible without my parents, coach Yashaan Khambatta, my amazing grooms, and most importantly, Acrobat and Chopsticks, who carried me to success.
ARC has been my sanctuary since 2015, offering me the chance to do what I love in the heart of the city. Equestrian is in my DNA, and I hope to keep riding and competing for as long as I can.”
