The final round of show jumping will decide the final positions, with medals for the top three finishers. All participants will also carry forward their penalty points into the final round.

Seigneur Medicott, lovingly known as Micky, had helped Fouaad Mirza win two silver medals at the Asian Games and they share a strong emotional connection with each other. Mirza shot to fame when he scripted history by winning those two medals, ending India's 36-year wait for an equestrian medal.

Mirza and Micky won silver in the individual eventing and team eventing categories. In the team eventing category, Mirza represented India along with Rakesh Kumar, Ashish Malik and Jitendra Singh.

Fouaad Mirza was honored with the Arjuna Award in 2019 for his show at the Asian Games.
