Chi Al Shaqab host world's best riders in Doha
Al Shaqab, a member of Qatar Foundation, organized the second edition of Chi Al Shaqab International Equestrian Competition from March 10 to 15, 2014.
Some of the world's best riders competed before royalty, VIPs and more than 10,000 spectators.
The Al Shaqab arena pushed the riders' and horses' skills to their limits, exhibiting crowd-dazzling displays of competitive horsemanship.
This year, around 160 riders and 200 horses competed in four equestrian disciplines – jumping, dressage, endurance and vaulting.
Chi Al Shaqab is also sponsored by Qatar Foundation and organized under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Thani and Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Al Thani.
His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, The Father Emir of Qatar, founded Al Shaqab Equestrian Center in 1992 to promote and enrich his nation's traditional association with the Arabian horse.
