Horsemanship

Red Earth Riding School held its annual equestrian competition from 28 February to 1 March. The Auroville Horse Tournament drew horses and riders from riding schools all around South India for a mix of dressage and show jumping events, with Auroville riders particularly excelling in the higher-level dressage and the fast-paced jumping relay.

In a quiet and shaded enclosure in the Evergreen Forest, a small herd of horses flick their tails while sipping cool water in an effort to beat the ever-increasing summer heat.
