The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX 2024) has brought to the fore the aspects of horsemanship, featuring advanced training techniques, state-of-the-art equipment and skill demonstrations.
The exhibition attracts visitors with special shows and programmes, including interactive workshops and educational talks.
From how to tame and train horses to incorporating traditional and environmental conservation efforts in equestrian practice, the exhibition has a lot to offer for horse lovers.
“This exhibition is more than just a display of hunting and equestrian equipment. It is a celebration of our cultural roots and a platform to share our traditions with others,” a visitor, who preferred not to be named, said.
Mohammed, one of the riders, who preferred to go by a single name, said ADIHEX showcases “the latest developments in our sport and how important equestrianism is to us, as well as how to teach it to our future generations.”
He added that the event celebrates the equestrian legacy, fusing heritage with modernity.
