Al Shaqab Endurance Team to Compete in Prestigious HH Heir Apparent Endurance Cup
The Al Shaqab Endurance Team, member of Qatar Foundation, will participate in the HH Heir Apparent Endurance Cup Saturday, February 13, 2010.
The team will compete with an impressive roster of over 20 riders combined in the junior and senior races. Distances for the events are 100km and 120km, respectfully. The Cup will be held at the Qatar Endurance Village in Mesaieed, Qatar, near Sealine Beach. Visitors are welcome and attendance is free of charge.
As one of the fastest growing international equestrian events, endurance racing consists of varied terrain through a course in the desert. There are mandatory check points where all horses must pass a veterinary inspection, including tests for heart rate, respiratory abilities and dehydration. A horse must pass the inspection to continue on to the next check point, including a final inspection at the end of the race to clock an official time.
The Cup is organized by the Qatar Endurance Committee, which was founded in 1997.
H H The Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani founded Al Shaqab in 1992 to preserve and further develop the Arabian horse in Qatar. The organization is led by H E Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and encompasses a Breeding and Show division, Riding Academy and Endurance Team. In 2004, Al Shaqab proudly became a member of Qatar Foundation. Al Shaqab's mission is to promote the highest standards in the breeding and showing of Arabian horses and provide innovative, educational and competitive opportunities in all of the equestrian arts.
