Russia’s 2026 National Arabian Horse Championship concluded on October 10 in Dmitrovsky District, in the Moscow region, the Emirates News Agency reported on October 11. The event was organised in cooperation with the Emirates Arabian Horse Society and featured around 30 horses belonging to 18 owners and studs, according to WAM.

The organisers used the Rabdan judging system in Russia for the first time, bringing an Emirati system into the championship, WAM reported. The agency said the event supported cooperation between the Russian and Emirati Arabian-horse societies and the preservation of the breed. Its report did not identify the winners or provide class scores, so no competitive results beyond the championship’s conclusion are asserted here.
