Introduction to EEF | Emirates Equestrian Federation
The Emirates Equestrian Federation was established in 1992 under the Chairmanship of His Excellency Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Presidents of the UAE Advisor.
The Federation supervises the organization of equestrian and racing activities in the UAE to build
a large base for this sport and to help the current generation of riders to retain the forefathers'
equestrianism and keep pace with the developments of the sport in modern times.
The Federation has a significant and effective role in the supervision of all races in the UAE. It
also plays an important role in the organization and sponsorship of international races to support
the presence of Pure-bred Arabian horses at international levels.
In further pursuance of promoting Pure-bred Arabian horses, the Federation organises endurance rides which are highly popular and have received much appreciation from the international
equestrian fraternity.
The Federation looks forward to develop show jumping by organizing local and international
championships and also by training the UAE riders in overseas camps and encourage them to
participate in international competitions.
The Federation pays utmost care and attention to veterinary services and maintains the reputation of the UAE as a disease and epidemic-free equine state.
The Federation also enacts rules and regulations in line with international standards which regulate equestrian and racing sport in the UAE.
The Federation includes six departments - Administration, Racing, Endurance, Show Jumping,
Veterinary and Media and Publicity. The departments are managed and run by highly-qualified
and experienced technical, administrative and media personnel.
Foreword
by the FEI President
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Al Ain for the second Furusiyya
FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping qualifier of the 2016 season.
Three years ago the new format for this historic series was put in place,
dividing the world into six qualifying regions. This has allowed more
riders from more countries to participate and in turn has broadened
the audience and appeal of this prestigious series. Allowing the series
to not only be a venue for the established equestrian stars but also
being a more equitable path for the stars of tomorrow.
As was Abu Dhabi last year, Al Ain is host for the Middle East leg, one
of nineteen qualifiers in a global series that places team work and
national pride at the heart of the competition. It is with this spirit that
the competing teams will battle for a qualifying spot in the final which
will be taking place at the iconic Real Club de Polo in Barcelona in
September.
For those competing who have also qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics
Games, as the Qatar team did here in Abu Dhabi last year, this promises
to be an emotional year as Rio 2016 falls between the penultimate and
last qualifying leg of the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping.
The support of Furusiyya and especially HRH Prince Faisal for the
Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping, cannot be over stated and has
been essential in the development and restructuring of this world
class series, making them a key catalyst in the reinvention this
competition has experienced over the last few years. This proactive
approach will mean further innovations for the series as it adapts with
the global development of the sport, maintaining its appeal for our
athletes, National Federations, spectators and media.
Our gratitude also goes out to Longines, Top Partner of the FEI and
Official Timekeeper of the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping
series, for their continued commitment to the series and the ideals for
which it stands.
On behalf of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) I wish
every success to those athletes competing here, I would also like to
extend our appreciation to the event organisers, officials, media,
volunteers and spectators for all their invaluable contributions for
what promises to be an exhilarating event.

Furusiyya and the FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping
For centuries the ancient term Furusiyya has embraced the idea of horsemanship and equestrian
knowledge, and this same sense of purity, nobility and chivalry has been brought to the FEI
Nations Cup™ Jumping Series – the world’s leading international team competition.
Originally launched in 1909, the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping is the oldest and most
prestigious team Jumping competition in the world. It was been created to make the sport
more accessible to all nations, and enables teams from developing nations to compete on a
level playing field with the traditional powerhouses of equestrian sport. As a result of its soaring popularity, the FEI Nations Cup™ events are staged around the world, across a number
of continents.
Now in its fourth year, Furusiyya is extremely proud to be the title sponsor of the FEI Nations
Cup™ Jumping and to be the driving force behind the international expansion of this great
equestrian competition. During 2015, 45 nations competed for 18 places at The Final, staged
at the outstanding Real Club de Polo in Barcelona. The 2015 Furusiyya Nations Cup™ Jumping
Final successfully continued on from the exceptionally high standards set in previous years and
featured countries from all corners of the globe, a true reflection of the popularity of Jumping
on the global stage.
We wish all the horse and rider combinations taking part the best of luck in the 2016 Furusiyya
FEI Nations Cup™, and we look forward to world class international team Jumping throughout
the course of the year.
