Dubai Police's team forms the largest contingent of the UAE national tent pegging team and is accredited by the Emirates Equestrian Federation.
Captain Rashed Salem Al Shamsi, Head of the Social Services Department at the Dubai Mounted Police Station and supervisor of the tent pegging team, mentioned that the station's capabilities have enabled the creation of an optimal environment for team formation.
