Even at a young age, winning is something that comes naturally to Gursobha Singh, a talented equestrian who went on to add another feather into his cap by winning the Best Child Riders' Trophy at the Silver Jubilee Delhi Horse Show held at the Army Equestrian Centre, Nicholson Ranges, New Delhi, Cantt recently.
What made this title even more precious was the fact that the championship considered to be the biggest and the most prestigious Equestrian Show in the country, successfully completed 25 years as the nations top rated Horse Show and Gursobha was able to stamp his authority in the event where Gen. VK Singh, Chief of the Army Staff, was the chief guest. Gursobha won two individual gold and a bronze medal, besides winning two medals in the team events. Riding on his mare 'Kashish' and stallion 'Baavla', his individual gold medals came in the 'Accumulator' and 'Show Jumping ( Normal )' events, besides which he also clinched a medal each in the 'Dressage' and the 'Junior and Children Rescue Relay', events in the team category.
Just before the Delhi Horse Show, Gursobha had come up with a superb performance in the Great Noida Horse Show, held by the UP Equestrian Association, where he ended up winning four individual gold medals and a silver, and was honored with the 'Best Upcoming Rider's Award.'
These titles meant that the young Mohali lad began his new season with a bang, and with some good performances in the previous year in which he gave nearly flawless performances in the FEI Children's International Jumping Competition and also won the Junior National Equestrian Championship, the 11-year- old established his credentials as one of the fast rising talents in the field of Equestrian sports.
Gursobha, a student of Yadavindra Public School, Mohali, has been training under coach Jatinderjit Singh, an active competitor, who himself won a silver and a bronze in the senior categories. Under the watchful eyes of his father Kamalbir S Dhindsa, the young rider has been competing since the age of seven.
