The Future is Bright!

The future for 16 year old, Reshwara Radinal is looking good. At his very young age Reshwara can be seen as one of the best riders in Indonesia. Just recently he won second place in the Gading Open on the 27-29 November 2009 for the 120 cm Showjumping class. This can be considered as another amazing performance by the son of Rafiq Radinal, owner of Arthayasa Stables, as he competes against senior riders and experienced horses.His strong commitment to the equestrian world, has caused some problems in managing his time to fullfil his academic responsibilities. As he trains five times a week, he needs to be on the horse as soon as he finishes school. Important competitions have even led to absences in his school. "I got my priorities mixed up." Said the tall and good looking boy with a smile.
Reshwara also had the chance to join the World Jumping Challenge Final in Chile on the 4-8 October 2009 representing Indonesia as one of the youngest riders. "It was a good expirience, eventhough I did not win. But I learned a lot. You see, not every horse is easy to ride. I had only one day to adjust to the horse I borrowed there." He explained.
But Reshwara was well aware of this, so he trained with different horses before the competition so that he was used to working with different characters and behaviors.
Reshwara has the potential to achieve great things in the equestrian world. In the future he wants to be riding for International level competitions and he is surely working hard to get there.
