A total of 108 horses will be offered over the three days, representing a wide range of categories including colts, fillies, mares and stallions.

Auction Committee Chairman Saad Ali Al Kubaisi said that holding the auction at this time of the year provides an excellent opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire the bloodlines on offer, as most of the horses come from renowned local studs and farms.

“Qatar enjoys a distinguished regional and international reputation in the field of Arabian horse show discipline,” he said.

“This auction presents a valuable opportunity for owners to acquire exceptional bloodlines and benefit from the high quality of these horses, whether to compete in upcoming shows or to enhance their own breeding programmes,” he added.

Al Kubaisi added that many of the horses offered for sale descend from famous bloodlines belonging to major farms and studs such as Al Shaqab, Al Rayyan and Al Nasser. “This diversity will certainly attract owners and breeders eager to benefit from the auction in line with QREC’s objectives, especially given the increased number and variety of horses presented across the different categories,” he explained.

QREC organises several horse auctions throughout the season, including for racehorses and for purebred Arabian show horses. Each year, QREC also highlights the prestigious Arqana Sale held in Paris on the opening day of the events associated with the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe weekend.
