June 26, 2025

The Royal Stables in Abu Dhabi is proud to announce a significant milestone in its Para Dressage Performance Programme, launched earlier this year to develop a UAE national team for the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympic Games.

Since April, several Emirati athletes have joined the pioneering training pathway, and now, two of them have officially completed their FEI classifications, putting them firmly on the road to LA 2028.

Fatima Al Bluoshi and Wafaa Aldahmani, both 31 years old and from Ras Al Khaimah, have been undergoing intensive weekly training at The Royal Stables since their enrolment on the programme in April, alongside their fellow athletes.

Their regimen includes riding lessons, theory sessions, simulator training, physiotherapy and sports psychology. The programme is built on a holistic approach designed to nurture both technical knowledge, athlete fitness and mental resilience.
