In light of the festival’s growing prestige, Malika Mohammed Al Shraim, Director of the Marketing Department at Katara and Secretary of the KIAHF Organizing Committee, highlighted how the Katara Arabian Horse Auction has now adopted rigorous selection criteria, ensuring only the finest entries qualify. “Participation is no longer a simple process,” she said.
“Each horse is evaluated with precision by specialized experts, making it a truly selective and prestigious event.” She also revealed that this year’s auction would include, for the first time, an exclusive collection of artworks, paintings, and sculptures by internationally renowned artists, alongside charity auctions supporting humanitarian initiatives.
Al Shraim also emphasized the tremendous growth of the Arabian Peninsula Horse Show, attributing the surge in participation and audience numbers to the increasing appreciation for purebred Arabian horses. “The festival has evolved remarkably since its first edition in 2020,” she said. “Each year, we challenge ourselves to raise the bar in terms of organization, logistics, and fairness in competition.
