Speaking to Sportskeeda, Yashaan Khambatta said the equestrian tournament will be held at the right time, helping him prepare for the Asians. He said:
"I would be participating in all three categories, depending on the level of my horses. The ability and consistency of the horse and the rider combination is seen over three days and then results are declared. This equestrian tournament also helps me hone my skills as we get enough time to prepare."
Pranay Khare concurred with Yashaan and said participating in a tournament like the Jumping World Challenge will put him in good stead ahead of the Asian trials. He explained:
"FEI World Challenge is an opportunity to be able to compete in our own country with international standards, in which various remote countries participate. I will be participating in the Cat - A, the highest category in the event. I hope to enjoy every second of it, riding to my full capacity and prepare myself for the upcoming Asian trials."
