Al Habtoor EEF Affiliated Dressage Competition

22/12/2016

Wednesday evening was a cheerful one at the Al Habtoor Riding School. Riders from several different stables came to compete in the second EEF Affiliated Dressage Competition of the season held at AL Habtoor Polo Resort and Club.

Most were returning competitors, although a few new faces appeared as well. Judge Ruth Glasgow was one of these returning faces, who came to the Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club before when international Judge David Hunt judged our first Dressage Competiton. She was very pleased and happily told us “It was a pleasure judging here, everything was so well organised, the team so attentive and it is clear to see that the riders enjoy coming to this club.”

The Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club is a new development in the heart of Dubailand with the equestrian lifestyle in mind. A true equestrian haven with a St Regis Resort as the centrepiece and 120 residential villas, boasting 520 stables, 4 polo fields, two full size internationally approved arenas and much more, attending to every need of the equestrian. The Riding School has horses of all sizes and levels and instructors ready to teach in all disciplines, from dressage to showjumping along with the Polo Academy.

Mohammed Al Habtoor, Chairman of the Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club says: "It is a great feeling to be able to add to the equestrian community. Polo has been my big passion for many years and I enjoy seeing others live out their passions with equestrian sports."
