    The Bond Between Sheikh Hamdan and His Horses

    HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum shares a relationship with horses that is built on trust before triumph. For him, a horse is not only a competitor on the track but a noble companion whose spirit deserves care, attention, and respect. He often speaks through calm presence rather than force—soft hands, steady breathing, and patience that invites the horse to listen. In return, the horse offers loyalty and tries with heart.

    This philosophy shapes his approach to endurance racing, a discipline that rewards discipline as much as speed. Preparation begins long before the start: careful conditioning, proper rest, and reading each horse’s mood on the day. Wins matter, but welfare matters more. After the finish, he is the first to praise the effort and ensure recovery is gentle and complete.

    Beyond trophies, Sheikh Hamdan sees horses as a living bridge between Emirati heritage and modern ambition. They carry stories of the desert—resilience, grace, and courage—into today’s world. In stables or in competition, his leadership remains the same: listen first, guide with kindness, and let partnership turn talent into excellence. That is why his rides feel less like domination and more like a conversation—one that continues, stride after stride.
