The GCAT recently hosted its second annual event in Miami Beach, with the equestrian tour now holding three total events in America – one in Scottsdale, Arizona and one in Las Vegas towards the end of the season.

The tour – which features 13 events throughout the season, including in the Middle East and Europe – is one that features Arabian horses with professional jockeys competing in six different categories that awards points to the best horses and best handlers. Those categories are the following: yearling females, yearling males, junior females, junior males, senior females and senior males. The competition is described as a combination of “sport and artistry” by Faleh Al Nasr, Chairman of the Global Champions Arabians Tour.

“Arabian horse competition is not just about performance – it’s about identity,” said Nasr in a one-on-one interview. “The focus is on the horse itself: its movement, presence, balance, and expression. There is technical depth, but also an emotional dimension; the way a horse carries itself, its charisma, and the connection it creates in the arena.

That combination of sport and artistry is what makes it compelling once you experience it live. ” The GCAT debuted in 2024 and has been expanding in different cities ever since. While equestrian and horse racing are obviously historic and known sports in America, the GCAT has an elegance and artistry to it that the normal equestrian and horse racing sports in America do not possess.
