MUSCAT: For the first time, Oman will host the showjumping world-cup qualifiers at Al-Rahba grounds, Barka in cooperation with the Oman equestrian federation, Ministry of Sport and Oman Olympic committee. 

The three-day international event will commence from November 7-9 and the entry is free.  

Founded in 2017, by the Olympic Equestrian Federation training center and with the provision of Tanfeed (National Program for Enhancing Economic Diversification), Muscat Showjumping Series is part of a long-standing tradition revered by equine fans. The event will bring together a host of global and regional equestrian talent — providing the Middle East a platform to be globally recognized as an equestrian hub with its rapid elevation in status. Participating riders represent countries, such as Oman, UAE, UK, Jordan, Egypt, Ireland, USA, Poland, Holland, KSA, Qatar, and Kuwait.   

“We are always seeking different ways to support showjumping in Oman and an international event as such will shine the spotlight on the regional equestrian community. And of course none of this would be possible without the generosity and vision of our partners” – Sultan Hamood Al Touqi, Oman’s Olympic medalist rider and show jumper.

This is no ordinary horse show. Leading showjumpers and international riders will join in the festivities with their highly trained equestrian team to demonstrate a choreographed routine. In addition to hosting this world-class equestrian competition, the Muscat Showjumping Series offers spectators a chance to be entertained with a weekend of outstanding and top-notch demonstrations from aspirant riders. Join in the excitement of competition, thrilling action, live fantastic food stations, free activities for children, pony rides and much more.
