Make your way to Emirates Equestrian Centre for the Virtus International Horse Show from 15-17 December. This three-day sporting spectacle will see top show jumpers leap towards a total prize pot of AED330,000.

Explore the Virtus Village, which features displays by local and international equestrian brands, a variety of F&B outlets and a dog adoption zone with many furry four-legged friends. Saturday will also see a costume competition where riders and horses can come dressed in fun looks such as pirates, superheroes, dragons and more to win. The previous edition saw world-class riders from 38 countries, and this time around, you can expect an even bigger participation. 

Entry is free, and VIP hospitality packages are available from AED3,500 per day.
