Mirza, backed by Embassy International Riding School Bangalore (EIRS), finished second with Seigneur Medicott and third with Dajara.
The Bengaluru lad’s route to Olympic qualification was filled with hurdles. The 29-year-old had to overcome lockdowns in his training base of Germany, cancelled events and an injury to Seigneur Medicott. Mirza will be especially pleased that Seigneur Medicott – his much-loved horse was laid low by an injury two years ago – recovered in time to come good in Baborowko.
