Dubai, United Arab Emirates
As the 12th Dubai International Horse Fair opens today (17 March 2016), alongside the 13th Dubai International Arabian Horse Championship, an array of equestrian activities and attractions have delighted discerning horse aficionados, the general public, families and children alike. Activities range from polo demonstrations, Spanish horse “ballet dancing”, gymkhana and dressage.
The Pony Show Jumping edition gives the most talented young riders across the UAE the opportunity to compete and is organised by Dubai Pony Club.
