This is part of the FEI, its on their calender.

Oct 14, 2009 - Lexington KY (USA)
CEI2*, CEI3* 160

Sheikh Mohammed was banned but to my understanding the ban lifts in October.
 
ohhh i heard that Hamdan was the one competing.. not anymore??:ermm:
Why Majid instead of Hamdan?

Sheikh Hamdan is banned for 10 months for horse doping.
Sheikh Mohammeds ban ended October 3.
 
as i understand it the rules of "doping" in US and UAE are more relaxed thn in Europe, but still i guess FEI hold the "standard." anyway good thing for Mo and Majid to be able to race. Wish them and thier team best of luck.
 
The upcoming race is a lead-up to the 2010 Alltech World Equestrian Games.
 
Here is an article of an endurance race at the Kentucky Horse Park:

American Chronicle | Cold, Wet Conditions Test Endurance Riders


"... On Wednesday, Sheikh Majid bin Mohammed al Maktoum, who turns 22 on Friday, was the preliminary winner of the 75-mile race, in which 12 of the 38 competitors who started completed the course. Coming in waving his nation's flag just before 4 p.m., he led the United Arab Emirates team, which was expected to capture the team title that will be officially announced Thursday after final vet checks and horse drug tests are complete..."

Does anyone know in which upcoming endurance races here in Dubai the Maktoums will participate in? Next one is this Saturday.
Thanks.
 
well you will find at least one" Maktoum" in every race...
they ride qualifiers, races (80,120,160) and sometimes just watch the race

you will find majid on the 28/29th (its his cup so he should be there)
one of the three on the 15th
but for sure all three on the 12th of feb in abudhabi

I would prefer seeing them riding an endurance not only being at the place. do you know more about?

but majid should be there to give the sowrd to the winner
