The Equestrian Federation of India on Friday sent a revised list of athletes and horses to the IOA for Asian Games with just one change — Colonel (retd) Rajesh Pattu has been replaced by Major Ashish Malik in the Eventing discipline.
Pattu is the only Indian rider to win three consecutive bronze medals in Asian Games (1998, 2002, 2006) as part of Team Eventing. The Setelvaad brothers Kaevan and Zahad and Chetan Reddy have been renamed Show Jumping.
In Dressage, the meeting decided that the two riders — Sruti Vora and Anush Agarwalla — managed qualifying scores in team event but there was no third rider to complete the team while they had failed to get qualifying scores in individual events.
The selectors have also changed the rider-horse combination for Swr Jitender Singh, one of the four names nominated in Eventing in the revised list.
