Dubai International Horse Fair 2026

Launched in 1993, Dubai International Horse Fair (DIHF) is an essential event for the Middle East’s equestrian industry.

DIHF connects a diverse range of equestrian suppliers with horse enthusiasts, owners, breeders, stables and clubs. Suppliers include equipment specialists, veterinarians and feed experts – all serving the needs of professional and leisure riders.

As such, the event is the region’s most lucrative trade platform for the multi-billion-dollar equine industry. The event is not just about business, however. It is also a spectacle, designed to appeal to horse lovers of all ages, with attractions including trick riding, a heritage village and art galleries.

Taking place alongside DIHF, the 2023 Dubai International Arabian Horse Championship presents majestic Arabian horses worth an estimated $1–2m. Displaying the beauty, agility and heritage of these magnificent creatures, the event offers a $4m prize purse.
