Usman Khan, the first horseman from Pakistan to qualify for the Olympics, has named his horse Azad Kashmir and is not ready to change it. He says that this is not a big issue for him. It has nothing to do with the current state of Kashmir. Indian Olympic officials are watching this. Whether legal action can be taken on this or not is being considered. Actually, athletes are prohibited from registering protests and showing political expressions in the Olympics. Osman, 38, currently lives in Australia.
According to reports, the horse's name was registered in April 2019. Usman said that he is currently looking for a sponsor who can take him and the horse to the Tokyo Olympics. Usman also qualified in the Asian Games of 2014 and 2018. But he could not go there due to lack of funding.
For your information, let us tell you that Usman said that the name of the horse was earlier 'Heir to Stay' which he changed after buying it. According to Usman, he changes the name of all his horses. He has spent around 70 thousand rupees in changing the name of this horse.
