The 120-km Shaikh Saeed bin Hamdan Al Maktoum ride will consist of five loops: Yellow, Green, Orange, Pink and White. The pre-ride Inspection will take place on Friday between 2.30pm and 5pm.

Ali Mohammad Al Muhairi, racing manager of Shaikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance, said: “We are very grateful to Shaikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum for his continuous moral and financial support for the development of this sport.

“This ride first took place in 2004 and has become a very important date on the Emirati Endurance calendar. We have seen riders enter their strongest horses each year thus enabling the upcoming generation of riders to gain more experience by participation.”

“Shaikh Hamdan and his sons have been one of the top sponsors investing and financing most of the locally coordinated FEI rides and national challenges. This has triggered and caused a big evolutionary advancement in this traditional game.”
