Fifth Emirates Arabian Horse Global Cup Concludes Successfully In Warsaw, Poland

The Emirates Arabian Horse Global Cup's second edition recently concluded its fifth leg in Warsaw, Poland. This event was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan overseeing it. The ceremony saw Mohammed Ahmed Salem Al Harbi, UAE Ambassador to Poland, and H.E. Mohammed Ahmed Al Harbi, Director-General of the EAHS, crowning the winners.

The competition took place at Janów Podlaski Stud, a renowned horse farm established in 1817. Located along the Bug River, this venue is one of the oldest and most prestigious in Arabian horse breeding. The event featured 63 horses from 33 owners competing over two days in various categories.

This round marked the first European leg of the Cup's second edition. It will be followed by events in Belgium later this month and Italy in November. The programme included qualifying rounds for colts and fillies aged one to three years, as well as mare and stallion categories, culminating in final championships for each division.

In the male categories, Elamir Sahir owned by Lukasz Czech won gold for Yearling Colts. Phoenix Al Miro owned by Miroslav Krzysztof Roguski secured gold for Colts aged two and three years. Evening Star, owned by Horses Poland Spółka, was crowned Champion Stallion.
