For the third consecutive year, the Dubai International Horse Fair (DIHF)  will serve as a forum for international manufacturers and traders, and regional distributors, retailers, and equestrian enthusiasts. Over 200 companies will bring products, services, and expertise to one of the fastest growing markets in equestrian sport. Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance and Industry, the Dubai International Horse Fair has proven to be a hit with the equine industry across the Middle East and the world since its launch three years ago.

Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the exhibition takes place April 1-7 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. It is timed to immediately follow the renowned Dubai World Cup Thoroughbred race.

This year, as the largest exhibition for equestrian equipment, services, and care products in the Middle East, DIHF promises an exciting opportunity for agents, clubs, breeders, race jockeys, trainers, and veterinarians. The event offers a one-stop venue for updates on the latest in the equine industry; attendees will benefit extensively from highly informative seminars and demonstrations at DIHF.

For the first time the Dubai International Horse Fair will provide a unique platform for veterinarians in the Middle East to meet and discuss key issues of the industry. To be held on Day One of the exhibition, the Veterinarian Networking Session will gather key figures and reputed speakers from around the region, including Dr. Dan Hawkins of Dubai Equine Hospital, Priv. Doz. Dr. Dr. Habil. U. Wernery from Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, Dubai, and Dr. Mieke Derijck of Sharjah Equine Hospital
