How do you build an Olympic showjumping team from the ground up?
In this episode of Talk Horse, Pippa Funnell is joined by UAE Olympians Omar Abdul Aziz Al Marzouqi and Abdulla Mohd Al-Marri to discuss the incredible rise of showjumping in the United Arab Emirates.
They reflect on their journey to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, training under William Funnell, the horses that helped them reach the sport's biggest stage, and the ambition driving UAE equestrian sport forward.
The conversation also explores the importance of strong foundations, developing young riders, balancing elite competition with family life, and why representing your country is about far more than results.
It's an inspiring insight into one of the fastest-growing nations in international showjumping - and the people leading the charge.
