Competition is not only about competing. It represents a strong bond between horse and rider, fostering growth and communication. It builds up individuals through accomplishments and humbles them through mistakes. It creates a sense of community and ultimately enhances self-worth from within. We asked some of our Yagya Riders to encompass what competition meant to them, condensed into one word. This is what they said.

Alessandra Volpi, an American show jumper, embodies the essence of her competition journey with the word "Focus". The previous year brought a multitude of notable firsts for her, and amidst it all, Volpi steadfastly maintained her focus throughout.

Ashley Vogel, an American show jumper with 12 years of competing experience, embraces competition as a transformative journey, honing her skills in discipline, perseverance, and determination. Ashley describes competition as "devotion".
