Earlier we reported the uncertainty because of the Iran-conflict in the region. This decision has been made following careful assessment of airspace restrictions, participation travel timelines and overall operational limitations. 

At this stage, the Doha Equestrian Tour programme is scheduled to resume from 11 March. Further updates regarding the remaining events will be communicated in the coming days. The Longines Global Champions Tour and the Doha Equestrian Tour remain fully committed to their long-term partnership at Al Shaqab.

The safety and well-being of horses, athletes, teams, partners, staff, and spectators remains our absolute priority. Both organisations are working in close coordination, and we confirm that all horses and personnel currently on site are safe and well.
