For this year's event, the stage, event tent, and horse paddock have all been set up.

The festival, which will take place at Katara Esplanade, will run from February 1 through February 11 with a staggering QR17,083,500 in prize money up for grabs.

Katara had emphasised that the third edition will be exceptional and include a group of the best genuine Arab horses late in December of last year.

The organisation has also stated that you can register for the auction until January 13 for a charge of QR500. Anyone interested in participating can go to kiahf.qa.

There are now 38 horses taking part in the auction.

According to Katara, the said competition is aimed “to make Qatar a global destination renowned for Arabian horse auctions of the highest and most authentic standards, and to promote interest and encourage participation in Arabian horse championships held locally and internationally.”

“The auction supports owners seeking to sell their horses while enabling buyers to upgrade their stables and farms with superior show horses that can compete in championships. It also encourages breeders to follow the highest standards in breeding.”

It continued by saying that one of its objectives is to support Qatar's efforts to protect and propagate the Arabian breed.

Additionally, owners of the horses competing in this year's competition who wish to apply for a visa to enter the nation can do so through the website kiahf-registration.katara.net.

Additionally, the organisation has named the ringmasters for the Title Show and The Peninsula Show as Egyptian doctors Mohammed Hammad and Mohamed Mohsen.
