KUWAIT CITY, May 20: Director General of Kuwait Riding Center Khalifa Al-Kharafi expressed appreciation and gratitude for a successful horse jumping season despite challenges the sports movement in the country faces in recent time, whereby the youth is paying a price in various sports activities. Al-Kharafi also extended gratitude to those who sponsored this season’s horse jumping competitions and contributed in achieving the desired success, affirming that Kuwait Riding Center will organize overseas camp for the champions of this season in an unnamed European country where they will be participating in different tournaments to maintain and improve the level of performance.

Al-Kharafi urged the Public Authority for Sports to sponsor and support horse jumping champions, given that Kuwait holds several talents that are capable of making outstanding accomplishments for the country. He proposed the formation of Horse Jumping Federation to cater for sports and joining other federations globally to qualify for Horse Jumping World Cup. He added the sport is expensive, and so concerned clubs take a huge portion of responsibilities while the families of horse riders work hard to support them.

In view of various ranges of tournaments sponsored in the past by Kuwait Riding Center, Al-Kharafi said the tournament has been postponed until next season, and it will continue thereafter to yield better revenue for the company while the price of oil goes up. He concluded by extending gratitude to the Minister of Information, Youths Affairs, and Sports Sheikh Salman Al-Sabah for his care and support of the sport. He also commended the media for its coverage and highlighting various aspects of the game.
