Al Shiraas Horse Show

Events

There is nothing more graceful and beautiful than watching horses show jumping. It’s actually quite breathtaking. The skill and trust that you witness between a horse and its rider as they conquer the arena is simply awe-inspiring.

We were delighted to have been entrusted by Fiona Jackson to provide the venue audio for the inaugural Al Shira’aa International Horse Show. Inspired by Al Shir’aa Stables’ owner, Shaikha Fatima Bint Hazza Al Nahyan, the event was held between 11- 14 January at the Al Forsan International Sports Resort. More than 300 horses and 150 riders entertained the crowds as our audio solutions filled the arena, festival village, VIP suits, Royalty suits and various other spaces with crisp commentary, ambient music and live entertainment by local talent.

With our Olympic and sporting event experience, Delta Sound’s team worked like a well oiled machine as Craig Harvey, Mehdi Ben Khelil, Nadeem Ali, Rayno Spies and Jeric Ventura managed the signal and control transport on an Optocore network and took a MADI stream from the console to allow for an abundance of discreet outputs to various suites and locations.

With the opportunity for athletes to directly qualify for the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Canada, and Dh1 million up for grabs for the four-star winner and Dh130,000 for the one-star class winners, we’re hoping this will be the first of many show jumping competitions to come. We look forward to hearing the commentator announce next year’s Al Shira’aa International Horse Show winners through yet another audio solution delivered by Delta Sound Dubai.
