Taarini Lodha is a name that will be a force to reckon with in the years to come in the arena of Equestrian given her exploits at the age of 12.

The young lass has been scorching the field with her performances at the National level competitions.

Taarini has been in electric form this year with a gold in dressage at the Concours De Dressage National 2024.

The Cathedral and John Connon student won a gold and bronze at the Equestrian Premier League (EPL) 2024 event as well.

The Mumbai girl had a terrific 2023 as well when she clinched the gold medal in the Concours Show Jumping National event and grabbed the silver medal in team dressage at Junior National Equestrian Championship 2023.

Taarini’s dedication and skill in both dressage and show jumping have marked her as a talented and versatile competitor in national equestrian events.

She felt sport became a platform for her to showcase her innate abilities to succeed.

"To me, my sport is a chance to succeed, a journey shaped by the dedication of my coach, who works tirelessly to bring out my best, and the unconditional love and support of my parents."

When it comes to inspiration within her sport and in areas outside of it, Taarini had some clear choices.

"Charlotte Dujardin has always been my inspiration in riding, and Jennifer Aniston outside of it, for their passion and resilience."

Taarini felt that her riding career had helped her in multiple ways both personally and professionally.

"Through riding, I've learned to sharpen my focus and master the art of multitasking, which has helped me balance my commitments and prioritize what’s important."

The equestrian expressed her profound sense of gratitude towards everyone who had helped her in her short career thus far.

I’m grateful for every lesson, every challenge, and the incredible people who’ve helped me along the way.”
