On today’s episode, Ute talks with Hera Mirza, an Indian horse woman who competes in Tent Pegging, an equestrian sports which originated on the Indian subcontinent and is one of the ten internationally recognised sports by the FEI. Tent pegging is a fast and exiting Cavalry sports in which the rider has to pick up a peg or a ring with lance or sword at full speed gallop. There are teams in different countries but few women competitors, as it has a strong military tradition. Hera is the first woman in India who successfully competed at national and international competitions. She loves horses passionately and hopes to encourage more women to join Tent Pegging so that one day India can have an all-women team. She is a trail blazer in the true sense of the word and knows how to handle her sword or lance.
