Equestrian Anush Agarwalla Announces Retirement Of Olympic Partner Sir Caramello

The duo etched their names in history at the Paris Olympics, where they became the first Indian rider-horse pair to compete in dressage on the Olympic stage.

Sir Caramello's retirement is more than a farewell -- it is a celebration of a sporting legend. The bond between Anush and Caramello has been a symbol of trust, discipline, and perseverance. Their Olympic journey not only elevated India's presence in global equestrian sport but also inspired a generation of aspiring riders back home.

Recently, in May at the CDI 3* in Lier, Belgium, Anush delivered a strong performance in his first international competition with his new horse, Etro, earning a commendable 67.196 per cent.

The score placed him among elite global competitors and demonstrated the promising potential of this new partnership. He also qualified for the Grand Prix Special, where only the top 15 riders qualify.

The CDI 3* in Lier drew top dressage athletes from around the world, making Anush's debut with Etro all the more significant. His poise, technique, and early synergy with Etro showcased the pair's readiness for future high-stakes competitions.
