Al Shaqab Collects Prestigious U.S. Title at Arabian Breeders World Cup
(Las Vegas, Nev.- April 19, 2010) - Al Shaqab, member of Qatar Foundation, won its first United States title of the year in the Arabian Breeders World Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday. Competing against World and US National title holders, Negma Al Shaqab (Safir x Kajora) was named Reserve Champion Senior Mare at the international event.
Presented by Michael Byatt, Negma Al Shaqab, 1996 maternal sister to World Champion Gazal Al Shaqab, was the oldest competitor in the mare championship. She will continue her 2010 American show circuit tour at the U.S. Egyptian Event in Kentucky, June 7-12, and then the U.S. National Championships in Oklahoma in October.
Negma Al Shaqab previously earned Qatar National and International Reserve titles. She has also proven to be an excellent producing broodmare for Al Shaqab in her career and is represented by her grandson, Bilal Al Shaqab, the current reining Qatar National Champion Colt.
The 4th Annual Arabian Breeders World Cup was held April 15-18, at the South Point Hotel. It serves as one of the premier purebred Arabian horse shows in the world and features an international roster of competitors. The event unites breeders from around the world and showcases the natural beauty, nobility, excitement and unique characteristics of the Arabian horse breed.
The Arabian Breeders World Cup is separated into breeding classes and is judged in the European style using the European Scoring System. This system is used to judge prestigious shows such as the All Nation's Cup in Aachen, Germany and the World Championships at the Salon du Cheval in Paris, France. The European style of showing emphasizes a more natural way of preparing, presenting, and showing the horses to display their true Arabian spirit.
The show features five International judges with a mix of the best from America, Australia, Europe, South America and the Arab world with the goal of achieving the highest possible judging standards.
His Highness, The Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani founded Al Shaqab in 1992 to preserve and further develop the Arabian horse in Qatar. Al Shaqab is led by H E Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and encompasses a Breeding & 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 serve as a community resource with innovative, educational and competitive opportunities in all of the equestrian arts.
