India has a rich heritage of Equestrian Sport. Evidence of horse games and equestrian activities has been found in inscription, carving and coins excavated in Mohanjodaro and Harappa. During the vedic period (2500 BC – 600 BC) a form of chariot racing was one of the most popular games and this continued into Ramayana period when hunting became a royal sport. The Equestrian Federation of India was constituted in 1967, and is duly registered with the Registrar of Societies under the Societies Registration Act (Act xxi of 1860). Hereinafter referred to as EFI. Since 1967 the development of equestrian sport in India has been guided and promoted by the country's governing body, the Equestrian Federation of India founded by a group of people driven by a mutual passion for horses and equestrian sport.

The first recorded show jumping competitions in the world were held in 1864 in Dublin, Ireland, as part of a trial horse show. High Jump and Wide Leap classes were included in the show, primarily to test the ability of hunters, and these classes became very popular. Soon, other horse shows were founded in Europe and the USA: for example, the famous show at Madison Square Gardens, New York, started in 1883. The High Jump was a particular favourite among spectators and some impressive heights were achieved.

Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) is the sole authority of governing equestrian sports in India. The federation is a registered body under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 and recognized by Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports (MYAS), Sports Authority of India (SAI), Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI). Since its inception in 1967 the office of EFI has shifted from place to place, in absence of a permanent location of its own thereby hampering the smooth functioning of its secretariat.
