I have a question. Do all the emir's children live in al wajbah palace. Also do his daughters still live there? Also how about the emir's brothers and sisters and the rest of extended family? Are there any pics of the palace I couldn't really find any. I'm sure it has enough space for the whole al thani family.

I Think AlWajbah is a complex of palaces and also There is an AlBahr palace That it is a complex of palaces Too.

Emir of Qatar supports animal cruelty

Thought I would let people know here, that the Emir of Qatar is supporting animal cruelty. A video has been shared on facebook the past month, showing arabian horses at the All Nations Cup in Germany, getting shanked hard, and showing obvious fear towards their handler. It is known that with the force the chain is being shanked, it can break bones.
5 of the horses in the video belongs to Al Shaqab Stud in Qatar, which is owned by HH The Emir. This treatment has been going on for several years now, and nothing has been done! What a great person HH is, to allow this treatment of his horses year after year :sad: Al Shaqab Stud has also been sponsoring these shows! and many of the other horses in the video is owned by other sheikhs from the Gulf region!

No 33 - Hariry Al Shaqab
No 97 - Kahil Al Shaqab

No 187 - Bashir Al Shaqab

I don´t think that the Emir is personally responsible for the horses and he would not be smart to treat his horses cruel,because this would not only damage his reputation but also the horses, they are very sensitive animals!Especially the Arabic horses,they need to be treated with much more care than other horse types,I have experienced they are more afraid of people than others and if you shout or apply pressure and violence they won´t perform well at any competition or horse-show...These horses are usually quite expensive - anyone who treats this horses badly would also reduce the value of his "assets".
But I don´t know about the situation of Al Shaqab Stud in Qatar...
