Oman, UAE win big at Muscat Showjumping Series 2

The United Arab Emirates and Oman scored big wins at the Muscat Showjumping Series 2, the world-cup qualifiers being held at Al-Rahba grounds, Barka. This is the first time in over 35 years that Oman is hosting the world-cup qualifying event.
Muscat Showjumping series is an annual event comprising of six rounds of competition and showcases top global and regional equestrian talent. Founded in 2017, by the Olympic Equestrian Federation training center and with the provision of Tanfeedh (National Program for Enhancing Economic Diversification), the series is part of a long-standing tradition revered by equine fans.
This year the event was held by Tanfeedh, founded by the Olympic Equestrian Training Centre, in cooperation with the Oman Equestrian Federation, Ministry of Sport, Oman Olympic Committee, Royal Cavalry of Oman, Ministry of Tourism and Seven Store; under the wider international umbrella of FEI – The International Federation for Equestrian Sports.
The event brought together a host of global and regional equestrian talent — providing the Middle East a platform to be globally recognized as an equestrian hub with its rapid elevation in status. Participating riders represent Oman, UAE, UK, Jordan, Egypt, Ireland, USA, Poland, Holland, KSA, Qatar, and Kuwait.
“We are always seeking different ways to support showjumping in Oman and an international event as such will shine the spotlight on the regional equestrian community. And of course none of this would be possible without the generosity and vision of our partners” – Sultan Hamood Al Touqi, Oman’s Olympic medalist rider and show jumper.
The weekend welcomed a rousing finale for the Grand Prix, which saw OMAN Rider Hamood Al Touqi, UAE Rider Hamed Ali Al Kirbi and UAE Rider Salim Ahmed Al Suwaidi take home the grand prize and winning trophies for the 2* World Cup Qualifier.
After 18 cities of Arabian rider tournaments across the MENA region, the two leading riders from these countries will go on to compete on the global stage in Los Angeles, USA in 2020, for the championship finale.
Muscat Showjumping Series offered spectators a chance to be entertained with a weekend of outstanding and top-notch demonstrations from aspirant riders.
Leading show-jumpers joined in the revelries with their highly trained equestrian team to demonstrate a choreographed routine, firmly placing Muscat on the map as a world-class destination for showjumping and globally recognised equestrian sporting events.
