25 YEARS OF LEADING THE RIDE OF PRIDE

A state-of-the-art horse riding school excelling in providing young athletes with world-class training, Embassy International Riding School (EIRS) has been successfully nurturing young talents for 25 years since its inception. Founded by the Embassy Group in 1996, EIRS aims to elevate the excellence of equestrian sports in India and cement the country’s presence on the international stage.

Our school has seen some groundbreaking successes by fostering passionate riders and aspiring equestrians and addressing their concerns with the proper training and premium facilities. At EIRS, the training is not about getting things right from the beginning or taking measured risks, but discovering the riders’ dedication and passion and giving them the right guidance to excel in the equestrian sport.

A long-cherished dream of Jitu Virwani, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Embassy Group, EIRS is rewriting India’s equestrian history by producing some of the finest riders in the country. From supporting Indian equestrians to reach global avenues to taking one of our riders, Fouaad Mirza, to the Olympics, EIRS, as Jitu had envisioned, has become the finest equestrian academy in India today. Managed by a team helmed by Silva Storai, Director – EIRS, the school attracts top talent from across the country. Over the years, our school has provided best-in-class infrastructure, training modules according to British Horse Society standards, quality horses and an international jumping arena, among many other features that makes it the leading choice for upcoming equestrians.

As we celebrate our 25th anniversary this year, we realise that excellence has become paramount to success and innovation, an essential dimension of competitiveness. Hence, we are constantly reinventing ourselves to be ahead of the curve and be synonymous with the equestrian in India.
