One standout rider, Amr Gamal Mohammed, showcased his talent with his horse, “Zazou Z.” He claimed victory in several events, including a recent challenge that involved jumping over 130 cm high obstacles. This win marked his fifth victory of the summer season, having started strong by winning twice with “Zazou Z” in previous weeks.

In a competition featuring 32 riders, nine made it to the final round, and five completed the course without any mistakes. Amr secured first place with a speedy time of 36.36 seconds. The runner-up was Mohamed Ghaly Atef with “Victory,” followed closely by Daoud Bourizai with “Sancodex.”

His teammate, Amelie Myhrvold, came in second, and Mahmoud Mohammed Al Far took third place.

Both Amr Gamal and Saif Awaidha illustrated their skills by dominating the 130 cm events as well as the special stages for younger horses. In a separate competition for young show jumping horses aged 6 years, 56 competitors participated. Amr again secured first place with “Zazou Z,” adding to his success in the higher jumps.
