DIBRUGARH — The Equestrian Federation of Assam is set to host the 6th edition of the State Equestrian Games at the Borbari Equestrian Centre in Dibrugarh from April 23 to 25.

The competition will feature three disciplines — Jumping, Dressage, and Tent Pegging — drawing participants from across the state's major equestrian contingents.
Teams and individuals taking part include Assam Police, the 47 R&V Squadron of the NCC, and senior individual riders.
At the conclusion of the meet, the Gen OP Malhotra Memorial Trophy — constituted in honour of the founder of modern equestrian sports in India — will be presented to the Best Rider of the event.
