ENDURANCE & ENDURANCE TEAM
The Arabian horse is a beautiful and versatile athlete, always cheerful and willing when competing in a variety of equine sports. There is one challenging endeavor, however, where the breed has achieved supremacy - the sport of endurance racing which requires man and horse to conquer great distances and harsh terrain in a matter of hours.
The Endurance Center at Al Shaqab, dedicated to this growing international sport, is designed to train and condition highly competitive endurance horses and their riders. It features state-of-the-art equipment, including both high-speed and underwater treadmills and a modern laboratory. The Center is also planning an equine research unit designed to increase knowledge of equine physiology, training, and nutrition for both sport and endurance horses.
