Bengaluru, October 10, 2024: The Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) is pleased to announce the Asian Equestrian Federation Cup- Youth (AEF Cup- CSIY-B), an FEI approved Asian level Showjumping event for youth riders.

The format of the competition is of borrowed horse with an age limit of 16-21 years for the riders having a 115 cm maximum jump level.
India will have two participants - E Suryaa Aaditya and Avik Bhatia, as they topped the selection trials held at Surge Stable in Bengaluru on Thursday, which was attended by 11 riders.
"The EFI is proud to have successfully brought this FEI-approved international tournament to India after a 14-year hiatus. Hosting such a prestigious and competitive event is not just a point of pride for us at EFI; it’s a tremendous opportunity for Indian riders to experience top-tier competition right at home. This tournament allows us to showcase India as a promising destination for international equestrian events, enhancing our status in the emerging global equestrian market. Moreover, it provides local riders with the chance to excel in familiar conditions, further elevating the sport in our country," said EFI Secretary General Col. Jaiveer Singh.
Rest of the 10 participating countries will be showcasing one rider each from Kuwait, Malaysia, Pakistan, Iran, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan will be seen in action.
