- In an interview, when asked how he got the chance to perform at the 2022 Asian Games with Grand Prix horse Adrenaline Firfod, he replied,
When I first came to Europe I was in a stable where I was training with a different horse and Adrenaline was the superstar of that stable. He was the best horse in the stable, who won most and everything. Some days when I was helping out in the stable I would take care of him by giving him food or taking him out into the field and things like that. I started trying out for the Asian Games and I was trying out with another horse, but my ride was not good with that horse. I was in a bit of a difficult situation. I was telling the story to my Danish friends and the woman who was riding the adrenaline – Helen Melsen, she’s an international dressage rider from Denmark – said, “Well, you know what? Why not try?” And he put me on that horse. It was a really sweet story. And that’s when the partnership began.”
