Al-Wadi pointed out that Syria is one of the important and effective countries in the field of purebred Arabian horses due to the intensive tournaments and activities witnessed in the racetracks during the past years. He expected that the competitions of this tournament will be stronger as a result of the good preparation of the horses that preceded the tournament.
The association held the seventh national performance last year on the grounds of Bassel Al-Assad Equestrian Club after a hiatus for several years, although it had previously held six shows before 2011.
