Equestrian in Doha

One thing that you have to love about Doha is when you find things to actually do here, you can count on them being free! We found out that they race horses every Thursday night, so we decided we had to check it out, I mean how can you pass up a free event. It was truly amazing these horses! You were able to walk right up to the parade of horses and to the jockeys! You would think that these events would be packed, but it was pretty empty, so we got to enjoy some close up views.

Here we are in the stands waiting for the first race!


Let's race!



It wouldn't be Doha if there wasn't a playground! Everywhere we go there is a playground and the kids had to check this one out to see if it was any different then the rest!!






One of the horses and it's jockey! The kids had fun picking a horse to win, of course Hannah's started by the color of their helmet, there were a few pink ones, then it changed to who was in first!



It was pretty neat to watch them race to the finish line!



One of the winners!


Horses are such a beautiful animal!





The kids got to walk right up to the fence and see the horses up close, they were so excited!



Some locals discussing strategy with their jockey's!
