Before the upcoming FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, starting next week (shown on Eurosport, for any fellow equestriennes on TRF) - the FEI website has announced that their President, Princess Haya, will give a press conference on 27 August at the games' press centre.

During the press conference, Princess Haya will "present her views for the future of the FEI and horsesport in general and will speak of the goals of her presidency", after which she will take questions.

Good news, and hopefully we'll get some pictures and TV clips from that.

Thank you for posting the pictures. I would like to see her speaking. Can someone posting a video about it?

Thanks in advance
 
I really wish she wouldn't dye her hair. It is so nice when she's a brunette.

That's quite an interesting thing to hear, but I do wonder if she really will compete while she's President of FEI. I dout it, but who knows. Of course it would be nice to see here riding again, but FEI must keep her very occupied.

"This team at the FEI has been one of the most experienced and talented and I really enjoy being part of this family. It does make up for my not being on the field" Nice quote from the article :)
 
thank you ZZZ for the photos! lovely pics there, if only the watermarks didn't obstruct Princess Haya's beauty. :mrgreen:
 
Princess Haya looks absolutely radiant in Germany. I look forward to seeing more of her in the coming days. She has always seemed like an independent and strong person to me but she has really come into her own this past year or two. She also seems very happy.

I couldn't agree more, Humera! She absolutely is glowing these days. I think she has found her niche--with the FEI and WFP and other activities commemorating and building on her mother's ideas--and it shows. Just looking at her in these photos, she is poised, radiant, happy..... Very nice to see!

I agree with you 100% on this point! She is lovely as a brunette. It sets off her natural coloring and she looks so pretty. Early photos of her mother show she was a brunette then dyed her hair to a dark blonde. Sometimes, I wonder if Princess Haya is trying to emulate her mother when she starts in with the coloring.

I saw Princess Haya at the cross-country today, they showed a short sequence (seconds) of her standing near the course talking to a man. No pictures though so far, but here are two from yesterday:

thanks for the pictures..the first one is really nice..there is just 1 UAE rider who will compete in the showjumping this week..hope he do well :)
 
I was quite suprised by Princess Haya's win as president of the FEI over Queen Margarthe's sister. But I think she is handling the job very well. I hope she continues to handles her role with grace and class to help raise the profile of Arab women.

"I am simply speechless," said Kerstin Keus, Manager of the "Riding Therapy Centre in Adventure Land".
