Interesting to see the focus on community and family. It's not just a competition but a gathering. We have similar cultural festivals in India that bring people together around a shared heritage. Good to see such traditions being celebrated with such grandeur.

The level of organisation and international standards mentioned here is impressive. While we have our own equestrian events in India, perhaps there is something to learn about making them world-class attractions that also boost local tourism and community spirit.

As an animal lover, I'm always happy to see events that celebrate and honour animals. Arabian horses are known for their grace and history. It's wonderful that the leadership is actively involved in supporting this. Hope the event also emphasised good animal welfare practices.

While the event looks magnificent, one has to wonder about the scale and cost. Such lavish displays are a hallmark of the Gulf. In India, our cultural events are often more chaotic but just as heartfelt. Different approaches to celebrating tradition, I suppose.

The connection between leadership and cultural identity is strong here. It reminds me of how our Indian leaders also participate in festivals like Diwali or Republic Day parades. It's important for people to see their traditions valued at the highest levels. Well done, Ajman!
