Welcome

As the region’s largest trade platform for the equine sector, the Dubai International Horse Fair brought together leading equestrian equipment companies, owners, breeders, stables, clubs, veterinarians, services and care products, all serving the needs of both professional and leisure riders, and wider horse enthusiasts.

The event provided a fun weekend outing for families and the general public, featuring pony racing by Al Dhabi, equestrian-themed art, unique displays by world-renowned trainer Miguel Duarte, live equestrian performances by Team Z7, the event’s annual Horse Auction for Arabian Purebred Horses, and performance by the Dubai Police canine patrol & equestrian team.

The Emirates Falconers Club also made their debut appearance at the Dubai International Horse Fair with a showcase of their unique breed of falcons, sharing expertise on the rich history of the Falcon and its special place in Emirati culture. Also joining the Fair for the first time was the Arabian Saluki Centre and some of their most prized Saluki hunting dogs.

“The event is getting better and better every year, this edition has improved in many aspects including the number of people visiting, the number of stands onsite, we also found the conference sessions very interesting. We have participated at this show for 5 years now and consider the show to be a very good platform for us to network and meet with people from the equestrian world”.

Said Marion Lachat, Shadwell

Jeff Butler, President, Prime Performance Nutrition from USA (Al Shaheen)
“This is our first participation at DIHF and we are extremely happy to be a part of it. We saw a high demand in our equestrian products and we had good sales deals with clients from Saudi, Bahrain, Morocco and UAE. We will definitely look forward to next year and take a bigger stand.”
