A complete Emirati achievement in the 2026 Arabian Horse Tour
UAE studs made a remarkable showing at the conclusion of the third leg of the 2026 Arabian Horse World Tour, held from March 31 to April 2, 2026, in Muscat, Oman. The event featured elite Arabian horses from around the world, reaffirming the UAE’s position as a leading force in the Arabian horse industry.
Dubai Stud achieved outstanding results, securing two gold medals and one silver. The stallion “D Shahar” and the mare “D Najla” won the gold medals, while the filly “D Roy” earned the silver medal after a strong performance throughout the competition. These results reflect Dubai Stud’s continued presence on the podium and its contribution to developing exceptional breeding lines at the international level.
The UAE’s breeding prowess was further highlighted by the silver medal won by the stallion “D Samed” (bred by Dubai Stud and owned by SK Stud), while the colt “AJ Fayed” from Ajman Stud achieved a significant feat by winning the gold medal in the yearling colt category, continuing his impressive performance for the second time this season and solidifying his position at the top of the standings.
The competitions also witnessed a notable presence from Emara Stud, with the colt “ES Ghanem” winning the bronze medal in the same category, confirming the diversity and strength of Emirati performance across various categories.
This collective success reflects the excellence of Emirati studs, not only in terms of results but also in the quality of their breeding and high level of competitiveness, as part of an ongoing effort to enhance the presence of Emirati Arabian horses on the international stage.
