Doha: A total of 147 competition horses that took part in the Doha Equestrian Tour have been safely transported from Doha to Europe after a carefully planned operation carried out in coordination with several authorities and logistics partners.

The horses were flown to Liège in Belgium on two special cargo flights. The first aircraft carried 74 horses, while the remaining 73 were transported on the second flight.

Officials said the arrangements were completed within a short period through close coordination between organisers, transport teams and relevant authorities. Veterinary checks, documentation and transport procedures were handled to ensure the animals travelled safely.

Due to the temporary disruption of normal flights at Hamad International Airport, alternative travel arrangements were also organised for riders, trainers and support staff. Some team members travelled by road to neighbouring countries before continuing their journey to Europe.
