The year (1998) was for our guest,
the knight Abdullah Abu Shabab, a former member of the national team for
endurance racing and the Royal Stables, the distinguished year in which he
achieved his first achievement that pushed him to achieve more achievements and
move forward in his hobby with the passion of horse lovers.
In the year 1995, Abu Shabab
announced the start of his equestrian career, which began in equestrian
endurance and endurance races, and he talked to us about many things related to
his career through the following dialogue:
Our knight, Abu Shabab, confirmed
that making a champion in equestrian sports of all kinds necessarily requires
starting at an early age, providing a love for this sport and full knowledge of
the nature of horses that are subjected to pressures and emotions.
Abu Shabab said: I am proud of the
support, support and encouragement of Her Highness Princess Alia Bint Al
Hussein to continue my career in this sport, as the start was in 1995 in the
royal stables and I participated in the Qatar International Desert Race and in
the Emirates, Syria and Spain and in the first marathon in Jordan in 1996 and
achieved the first achievement I won the third place and the forgiven trophy
was handed over to me, God willing, His Majesty King Hussein, may God rest his
soul.
Abu Shabab added that the sport of
endurance and endurance is one of the sports that requires fitness,
distributing the load of the race, and dealing with the horse with kindness, as
it is your companion on the road and achievement, pointing out that the Hussein
International Race for Equestrian Ability and Endurance, which is held in Wadi
Rum, is the most expensive and most important race on the Arab and regional
levels, and it is linked to conscience The Jordanian race, which is organized
annually by the Royal Equestrian Federation, in memory of the leader who
supported and loved sports, so he has a special place in my heart.
Abu Shabab affirmed that the great
efforts made by Her Highness Princess Alia Bint Al Hussein, Chairwoman of the
Board of Directors of the Royal Equestrian Federation, have resulted in placing
Jordanian equestrian on the international map. Throughout my participation, she
overwhelmed me with a lot of support, care and appreciation, as she always
supported the knight and praised my giving, had it not been for the efforts of
Her Highness. When our sport reached this level, I hope that the spirit will
return to the endurance race team and that there will be internal and external
participation.
And about a situation that is still
stuck in the memory, Abu Shabab said when I was sent to participate in the
first endurance race, I had no idea and real knowledge about it because I loved
horse riding, but I learned that equestrian sport is not without difficulties
and painful situations, whether for the rider or his horse, especially in
endurance equestrian. Endurance, which requires the rider to stay on horseback
for long hours in international tournaments and for distances that may reach
(160 km).
Regarding the month of Ramadan, Abu
Shabab stressed that the month of Ramadan is the month of love and
communication, and we in the Amman Center are keen to hold the Ramadan
tournament, which will last for the hours of Suhoor.
