Humans and animals bond with each other in inexplicable ways. One can find countless tales of relationships between humans and animals in every region and era. The realm of equestrian sports thrives on how well a horse bonds with its trainer and rider. An Indian equestrian recently spoke about the matter, and his words are melting people’s hearts online.

Ashish Limaye is a 30-year-old equestrian hailing from Pune, India. The eventing specialist is currently preparing for an upcoming competition. Ashish Limaye recently gave an interview where he spoke about the heartbreak he experienced when he forcibly had to part ways with his beloved horse. 

No chance to say goodbye

Limaye rode his first horse at the age of seven. From that moment, equines became a huge part of his life. While Limaye loved to care for horses and ride them, he had not expected to make a career in equestrian sports. However, he now looks after several horses and is also an accomplished rider. Limaye starts his day by visiting his horses. While Limaye does not have a lot of international experience, he has managed to obtain the 199th global FEI rank after just 36 starts. Limaye recently opened up about parting ways with his favorite horse, Nimo, who walked out of his life while he wasn’t even in the country.

Limaye and Nimo had been with each other for a very long time. Limaye had also once uploaded an image on Instagram, through which he wanted to show that he and Nimo had the same soul. Ashish had gone to the UK for some time, but he discovered that Nimo had been sold on his return. “That felt like a heartbreak,” Limaye told The Quint. His voice and tone did not conceal his pain when he said it. The young equestrian says that a horse’s eyes convey everything to its trainer. Limaye also teaches horse riding to young kids. He believes that training horses and training kids are very similar.
