Raghuveer Singh Shekhawat, a 72-year-old resident of Patoda village in Rajasthan, reminisces about winning two gold medals in equestrian eventing at the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi. Shekhawat, astride his horse Shahzada, became the first Indian to achieve this feat. He recalls the bond he shared with Shahzada and the impact the victory had on his life, gaining him fame and financial reward. Sadly, Shahzada later met with an accident and had to be euthanised.
