The United Arab Emirates Knights will have the honor of having Dubai Crown Prince, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to lead them at the Endurance Competition at the FEI World Equestrian Games in Tyron, North Carolina..
The 2018 edition of the FEI World Equestrian Games gathered around 500,000 spectators to the largest equestrian event in the world, hosting nine disciplines, and 349 knights from 54 countries.
“Thanks to the in-depth vision of our wise leadership and the solid determination of our youth, the UAE has become a land of achievements across all domains, a fact that adds to the resoluteness of our knights to earn the country’s sports track record more trophies and accolades,” said Sheikh Hamdan.
The FEI World Equestrian Games, held every four years in the middle of the Olympic cycle, is one of the biggest events on the global sporting calendar, combining eight equestrian World Championship caliber events in a pre-determined location.
