Sono state organizzate delle visite nelle incredibili strutture allevatoriali presenti in Qatar, Al Naif, Al Zobara, Al Nasser, tutti nomi che rimandano all'eccellenza allevatoriale. Per il quarto anno si è tenuta l'asta organizzata dall'Al Shaqab Stud presso l'incredibile centro inserito nel contesto della Qatar Foudation. L'Al Shaqab è stata progettata per onorare la bel-lezza distintiva e la versatilità del cavallo arabo. Si estende su un'area di 980 mila metri quadrati con la tipica forma a ferro di cavallo, con molti elementi distintivi che la rendono una strut-tura senza eguali.

Le manifestazioni che si tengono in Qatar non sono mai fini a se stesse ma danno, a quanti hanno la fortuna di assistervi, l'opportunità di ammirare il cavallo arabo in tutte le sue sfac-cettature, in tutta la sua magnificenza. E', per ogni appassiona-to della razza una occasione da non perdere.

For the fourth year the Auction was held, organized by the Al Shaqab Stud in the astounding Centre set in the Qatar Foundation context. Al Shaqab was designed to pay homage to the distinctive beauty and versatility of the Arabian Horse. It extends over an area of 980 thousand square metres with the distinctive horse-shoe shape, with many outstanding elements which make it a structure unequalled anywhere.

The shows held in Qatar are never an end to themsel-ves, but actually they give, to those fortunate enough to attend, the opportunity to admire the Arabian Horse in all its facets and in all its magnificence. Such shows are, for every aficionado of this marvellous race, an unmissable chance.
