Actually if anything some of the leaders in Arab countries (I'm not talking about the emir) have been accused of treating the jockeys poorly not the horses. They treat the horses like princes but abuse humans. Like I said I've never heard about the emir but i know other Middle eastern leaders have been accused of exploiting humans.

Ardaa is the traditional sword dance. It was traditionally done before battles now it is done on special occasions: Eid, weddings, national days. There are a lot of videos of sheikh tamim doing ardaa. There are some of sheikh jassim too. I really love the ardaa and jassim looks amazing doing it. Then again he always looks amazing to me. Check it out onenoble83 you will find videos of sheikh tamim. Btw may I
ask your nationality?

I´ve heard the same,in Dubai they were forced to ban minors from riding camel-races-the small boys came from Bangladesh,India,Pakistan etc.and were forced to work under extremely bad conditions...I don´t know about Qatar but in most Gulf countries horses are adored and respected, the owners have a lot of pride in their animals and do everything to make sure they stay healthy&pretty.Some even taste the food of the horses to see if it´s good...this seems disgusting to me,but it shows how much they care about the well-being of their horses.

@C_Ma-if you really care about this issue you should write to the people in charge,they might listen to your advice and they don´t gain anything from treating their horses badly-I´m sure they will do something if anything is going wrong in their stables.

Almost exactly a year ago, the Queen hosted a state dinner for one of the world’s more colourful couples, the portly Emir of Qatar and his spectacularly attired wife, Sheikha Mozah. I wrote at the time that there were two interesting things about their tiny country, which few Britons could pinpoint on a map and even fewer pronounce properly. One was banal: it was very rich. The second struck me as odd, but it was what a number of people had told me: one diplomat said, “Everyone suddenly seems to hate Qatar.”
In the intervening 12 months, the emirate has become much better known. Its jets have flown alongside our own over Libya. It has showered largesse on pro-democracy movements, even as its pet television station, Al Jazeera, publicised their revolutions. At home, the Emir announced the statelet’s first elections.
Yet the dislike has only got worse. What has the poor old nouveau riche country done?
