Anand tweeted, “Does anyone in Thrissur know this girl? I want a picture of her and her horse as my screen saver.
“She’s my hero..The sight of her charging to school filled me with optimism for the future…”
The girl, named, Krishna, recognizes the power of education and did everything she could to make it on time for her tests—this time it meant riding horseback to her exam hall!
The inspiring schoolgirl is from Thrissur, in India’s southern state of Kerala.
She and her horse Ranakrish are inseparable.
The now viral footage was uploaded on Twitter by Manoj Kumar, who wrote, “This video clip from my #whatsappwonderbox shows how a girl student is going to write her Class X final exam in Thrissur district, Kerala. This story made my Sunday morning brew of @arakucoffeein taste better!”
Just look at her go! Krishna races against time to get to her exam hall dressed in her school uniform and wearing her schoolbag.

The tenth-grader at the Holy Grace School in Mala town, in India’s Thrissur district, said she rides 3.5km on her horse to school often.
