The riders from Al Shira’aa Show Jumping Team celebrated another outstanding performance this weekend at the Butheeb Equestrian Academy CSI2*, where the riders claimed first, second and fourth place at the Grand Prix carrying prize money of €56,800.

In front of an enthusiastic crowd, Omar Al Marzouqi and his mount Enjoy De La Mure produced two flawless rounds to take victory in a lightning-quick 37.01 seconds.

Teammate Abdulla Al Marri secured second place aboard BBS McGregor, clear in 37.73s, while Salim Al Suwaidi and Cjoxx Z completed the team’s dominance, finishing just outside the podium in 39.16s.

Duncan Inglis, assistant trainer at Al Shira’aa, praised the team, noting that “the results we’ve seen across the first month of the UAE season are a testament to the hard work of our riders and the world-class training structure established by Al Shira’aa. To see them all competing and performing with such consistency under pressure is incredibly rewarding.”

Al Marzouqi expressed pride in both his horse Enjoy De La Mure and the wider team, stating: “It’s always special to win on home soil and to do it with teammates right beside me on the podium makes it even better. The system we have at Al Shira’aa keeps pushing us to aim higher every week.”
