At the conclusion of the second European leg of the 2026 Arabian Horse Tour in London
A glorious new stop on the European leg of the 2026 Arabian Horse Tour concluded with a triumphant performance from Dubai Arabian Horse Stud, securing four prestigious titles. Among them were two gold medals, the most prestigious being awarded to the world-renowned stallion D Shahar, who was crowned the Royal Champion to the strains of the UAE national anthem at the grand finale of the championship on Sunday. This followed the filly D Roy’s gold-clad victory over the world’s most beautiful fillies, which had already delighted the large audience. Dubai Arabian Horse Stud also claimed two silver medals, won by the world champion mare D Najla and the promising colt D Mazoun. Additionally, the mare D Dhaira, bred by the stud and owned by Al Mirqab Farm in Qatar, secured a gold medal. These achievements solidified Dubai Arabian Horse Stud’s position at the top of the London leg of the championship, establishing it as the leading stud in terms of both the number of titles and the quality of its gold medals.
In the presence of Dr. Ghanem Al Hajeri, Secretary General of the Emirates Equestrian Federation, and a large number of prominent figures in the global equestrian and Arabian horse community, Dubai Stud captivated the large audience from Britain, the European Union, and the Gulf countries. The competitions were characterized by fierce rivalry among the most beautiful Arabian horses and the strongest studs specializing in them worldwide, representing the elite of the prestigious international Arabian Horse Tour. From the first leg in Monaco to the second European leg in London, Dubai Stud raised the bar for its achievements, securing more titles than expected were it not for the silver medal won by the mare D Najla. Observers expressed surprise that she did not receive the gold medal she so deservedly won in Monaco.
In detail, Dubai Stud’s tally of titles at the London leg of the Arabian Horse Tour saw the world-renowned stallion D Shahar reaffirm his dominance among the world’s most beautiful stallions by winning the gold title, maintaining the same prestigious distinction he achieved in Monaco. The stunning filly De Roy, daughter of the iconic stud farm F.A.L. Rasheem, entered the global arena of excellence by winning the gold medal for young fillies. The international mare De Najla, champion of Monaco, secured the silver title among the most beautiful mares in a surprising result, following in the footsteps of the Dubai Stud-bred De Dhaira, daughter of the world-renowned stallion De Siraj. The promising colt, son of the distinguished stallion De Fannan, raised his profile in Monaco and London by winning the silver title among the most beautiful colts. With these valuable results, Dubai Stud continues its leading position among the world’s top studs in the most prestigious championships for the most beautiful purebred Arabian horses, confirming its dominance for the third consecutive year since the inception of the Arabian Horse Tour.
D De Shahar had previously set one of the most significant world records during a Dubai Stud auction, achieving the highest price ever paid for a stallion semen, exceeding $100,000. The mare D Najla is also considered a dynamic world champion, having achieved numerous international victories, including a significant share of gold and top honors in the Arabian horse championships. The filly D Roy also made her mark among the world’s elite in this championship, while the colt D Mazion continues to follow in her footsteps with the consistent success of champions across various stages.
