You started horse riding when you were 12 years old, what motivated you to take this up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My dad was a rider, I used to see him riding but I was not really fond of it. Once, we were invited to Tollygunge, a riding club in Kolkata to watch a night show. Kids, both younger and elder to me were riding there. It was fascinating to watch. After the show got over I went to a guy and appreciated him expecting him to just say thank you and leave. Instead, <strong>he started bragging saying that this was an extremely difficult track and only these people could do it, no one else. This infuriated me and I asked my dad to teach me how to ride.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"1329\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/raizada-shaurya-bali-represent-india-in-international-horse-riding-championships\/raizada-shaurya-bali\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143521\/Raizada-Shaurya-Bali.jpg?fit=697%2C404&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"697,404\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Raizada Shaurya Bali\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143521\/Raizada-Shaurya-Bali.jpg?fit=300%2C174&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143521\/Raizada-Shaurya-Bali.jpg?fit=697%2C404&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143521\/Raizada-Shaurya-Bali.jpg?resize=697%2C404&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"raizada\" width=\"697\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143521\/Raizada-Shaurya-Bali.jpg?resize=697%2C404&#038;ssl=1 697w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143521\/Raizada-Shaurya-Bali.jpg?resize=697%2C404&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.

What about the international event?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The international event was conducted by <strong>SEI, that\u2019s the organization that conducts Olympics<\/strong> and other such games. It was around 2-3 years back and was held in Punjab. A foreign jury judged our performances. It was by far the toughest course I\u2019ve faced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>A rider depends a lot on his horse. It\u2019s teamwork.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0The rich riders can buy better trained horses which are\u00a0genetically better.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Did you have any favorite horse?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Three actually. The one I absolutely adored was Veeru. He was a short horse whose training wasn\u2019t that good however, he was gutsy. There was a wall jump that other horses refused to do because they got scared of the height. He crashed into the wall instead of turning away. The other was Lateef, my dad\u2019s horse. He was the\u00a0second tallest horse in India. The third was Arjun. He had shoulder issues but he was honest, brave and as intelligent as a human.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/rahul-chahar-success-journey-rounder-19-indian-cricket-team\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&#8220;Rahul Chahar : Success Journey of an All Rounder in Under 19 Indian Cricket Team&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>7. Did you face any injuries while riding? Did you overcome them?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My first national completion, in show jumping I had two rounds. For the first round I was riding Veeru and was in the lead, however he got an injury and I couldn\u2019t ride him to the second. 15 minutes before the second round began, I was given a horse named Thunderpool. I had never ridden him before so I took him to the warm up area to practice. During warm up he jumped so high that I fell down and broke my collar bone. I was 12 and was in immense pain, I started crying. My dad came in, sprayed volini and told me that I was born for this day.<\/p>\n<p>The second round was a technical round, it was about speed control. Thunderpool was a hard in the mouth horse and it wasn\u2019t easy to slow him also the fact that I had a broken collarbone made it worse. We did the entire round in a canter. I still won the bronze medal.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"1332\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/raizada-shaurya-bali-represent-india-in-international-horse-riding-championships\/raizada\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?fit=600%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,397\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Raizada\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?fit=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?fit=600%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1332 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?resize=600%2C397&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"raizada\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?resize=600%2C397&#038;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?resize=600%2C397&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?resize=600%2C397&#038;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/16143828\/Raizada.jpg?resize=600%2C397&#038;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>8. It\u2019s normal to feel scared to do a certain thing after you face certain injuries. Did you get scared?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No way! Riding is as natural to me as walking. The horses, ground, wind, everything inspires me to keep going on. It makes me feel alive.\u00a0 \u201c<em>Anything we start, we have failures. We always fall down.\u201d<\/em> We need to embrace our failures and learn from them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Get to know about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/mayuri-yadav-allahabad-national-level-badminton-player\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&#8220;Mayuri Yadav : Girl from Allahabad made her position as National Level Badminton Player&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>9. What qualities do you think a sports person should possess?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We should learn to embrace our failures. Forget the feeling but remember the lesson it teaches. We should see both sides, wining and elimination and should stay detached to them because if you become attached to success, it goes to your head and eventually pulls you down whereas if you become attached to failing, you will never be happy. The last thing is hard work\u00a0and knowing how to work smartly. These are the three prime qualities that a sports person should possess.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1o. Any experience in riding that you would like to share with us?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There was this jump, either in Delhi Horse Show or Nationals, I do not remember exactly, there was a tie. Ties are decided by jump-offs.<strong> To do a jump, you need to be at least three strides away. I was riding Veeru and we\u2019d done the first two jump-offs perfectly, at third, we went in too close and were only half a stride away from the jump. He jumped, I turned him up in the air and we cleared it<\/strong>. I could hear the crowd gasping for air as we\u2019d managed to do something extremely insane and difficult.
