Today, February 7, 2025, Al Shaqab's Equine Education Department Outdoor Arena in Doha, Qatar, is abuzz with excitement as it hosts the Al Farrisa event, a showjumping competition exclusively for women. This unique event offers amateur female riders the opportunity to compete across four distinct jumping levels: pole-on-the-ground, 40cm, 60cm, and 80cm.

Al Farrisa is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of women's passion for equestrian sports. Designed to provide a platform for female riders to showcase their abilities and deepen their love for the sport, the event reflects Al Shaqab's commitment to fostering a nurturing and empowering environment for women in equestrianism.

Al Farrisa exemplifies the myriad of opportunities available to women in equestrian sports worldwide. By highlighting such events, we aim to inspire and inform our community about the diverse projects, competitions, and campaigns that empower female riders globally.
Stay connected with us as we continue to share more about these initiatives under the banner of #EquitasWorldwide.
