The arena came alive with three thrilling classes: Intro 3 (80 cm), Intro 1 (40 cm), and the Amateur Class (100 cm). Each class reflected the League’s core mission — to nurture emerging riders, build confidence, and strengthen Qatar’s equestrian ecosystem from grassroots to advanced levels.
In the Intro (80 cm) class, Abdulaziz Ibrahim Al Baker secured first place with a poised and precise round, followed by Saoud Abdulla Al Mohannadi in second place and Hamad Mohammed Al Marri in third, who all demonstrated remarkable focus and control.
