Saddle up, because the thunder of hooves and heritage is echoing across Tunisia as the 32nd edition of the UAE President’s Cup Series for Purebred Arabian Horses gallops into action. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, this isn’t just a horse race—it’s a cultural celebration, a sporting spectacle, and a global statement wrapped in one magnificent mane of tradition and excellence.
The opening race takes place at the iconic Ksar Said racecourse, kicking off a prestigious season with a jaw-dropping prize pool of over Dh15 million. That’s not just a carrot on a stick—it’s the richest series in Arabian horse racing history, and it’s pulling in elite contenders from across Tunisia and North Africa. Fifteen top-tier horses will clash in a Group 1 race over 2000 meters of dirt, vying for TND 500,000 in one of Tunisia’s most lucrative equestrian events.
But this series isn’t just about who crosses the finish line first—it’s about preserving the majestic legacy of the Arabian horse, boosting global equestrian competition, and showcasing the UAE’s leadership in this noble sport. The race calendar is just as ambitious as the prize pool, spanning 17 international locations including Morocco, France, the USA, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
Faisal Al Rahmani, Secretary General of the Cup Series, hailed the vision of Sheikh Mansour as the driving force behind this equine renaissance. With bold new initiatives and record-breaking global participation, the UAE isn’t just racing—they’re rewriting the playbook on Arabian horse heritage.
As Tunisia sets the stage for an electrifying season, it’s clear that this isn’t just sport—it’s an international gallop of glory, tradition, and top-tier competition. The UAE President’s Cup isn’t just leading the charge—it’s defining the course.
