PARIS: The Royal Cavalry team achieved remarkable success at the prestigious French Endurance Race, organized by the International Equestrian Federation. The team competed in a 160 km, three-star race that spanned five stages, with knight Mahmoud bin Marhoon Al-Fouri clinching first place on the horse Electra. This victory adds another distinguished horse to Al-Fouri’s collection, enhancing his preparations for the upcoming World Endurance Cup Championship in France 2024, where he has already qualified with his horse Dalila.
