Abu Dhabi: Two competitive rides and two Qualifier rides make up a busy day with nearly 200 riders set to be in action at the Boudtheib Endurance Village in Al Khatem on Saturday.
Organised under the patronage of Shaikh Sultan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, the rides are being held by the Emirates Heritage Club.
A 100-km ride for juniors and young riders will be the second for the juniors here this season while the second competitive ride today is a national ride open to horses owned by private and small stables in the UAE.
Novice
The other two rides are a 40-km and an 80-km Qualifier ride being held to introduce young horses and novice riders to the sport and help them graduate to higher levels of competitions.
The young riders from Al Reef Stables will once again start off as favourites after winning the inaugural junior ride here earlier this month while the national ride for private owners is also expected to draw a good number of horses.
