Dubai Arabian Horse Stud will put 55 horses up for auction on 10 October. Buyers can inspect them in the morning before bidding begins at 4pm, in person or online.

Buyers can inspect the horses at Dubai Arabian Horse Stud from 8am to 1pm on 10 October. The auction starts at 4pm and continues until all lots on offer are sold.

Fifty-five Arabian horses from the stud's own breeding programme will be available. Bidders can attend at the stud or take part online.

At competitions in Aachen on 2 October, Dubai Arabian Horse Stud's stallion De Shaar and mare De Najla took first places; De Mzyoon earned silver and De Roa bronze, Al Bayan reported.

Inspection and bidding arrangements

The in-person auction will take place at the Dubai Arabian Horse Stud arena. Remote bidding will be available through Emirates Auctions and Kahila Auctions. The stud's administrative team and specialist staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about the horses. The specialist staff cover veterinary matters and logistics. Al Bayan independently confirmed the schedule and participation arrangements in a report published on 8 October.

The stud says breeders in several countries have used its horses over the past decade to strengthen bloodlines and develop their breeding programmes. Horses from the stud's breeding programme have also placed at major international competitions.

Its auction history includes a global sale record associated with De Shaar. The stallion won gold at the final stop of the Arabian Horse Tour and at Germany's All Nations Cup. After the German leg of the tour and the All Nations Cup, executive director Abdulaziz Al-Marzouki described De Shaar and De Najla as the strongest pair in the world for quality and competitiveness, according to Al Bayan.

The UAE secured its third consecutive team title at the 2026 All Nations Cup. Al Khaleej also reported on 5 October that the country was named the best country-owner and breeder.
