Held under the supervision of the UAE Equestrian and Racing Federation (UAEERF), the two-day show jumping competition will see riders jumping heights of up to 145cm in the club’s indoor sand arena.

You’ll be able to witness 11 action-packed classes – five on Friday and six on Saturday – for riders and horses of all levels. This national includes competitions for Advanced riders (Division 1), Amateurs (Novice Division and Division 2), Juniors (riders between the ages of 14 – 18), Children, and Young Horses (4 – 5 year-olds & 5 – 6 year-olds).

As special additions to this show, there will also be a Fun Class for fathers and sons where they will compete in One Round Against the Clock (on Friday) as well as a competition dedicated to riders who will be jumping beautiful but extremely spirited Arabian horses (on Saturday).
