• Hathab, Al Shaqab

  Hathab, meaning ‘canter’ in Arabic, is an initiative of His Excellency Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, President of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC).

  Into its third season, the Longines Hathab – Qatar Equestrian Tour is aimed at improving the standard of horse riding among Qatari youth, while encouraging the involvement of private stables and individual horse owners to spread awareness of horsemanship as part of Qatar’s history and tradition.

  The vision for Longines Hathab is to be “a national series of equestrian competitions to inspire Qatar’s next generation of international champions”. Longines Hathab provides a structured competition to ensure continuity in organizing local equestrian competitions.
