Dubai ruler gifts youngest Iraqi equestrian with horses

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Lania Fakher, hailed as the youngest equestrian in Iraq, recently received a generous donation of horses from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the present ruler of Dubai.

At only eight-years-old, Fakher has stirred deep emotions among social media users. In a touching video, she mourns the loss of her beloved horse, Jesno, which was a gift from her father at the age of five. The horse was her most valued and cherished companion.

Sheikh Mohammed was deeply moved by the young girl in the viral video. He has pledged his support to establish a personal training center for the aspiring rider, along with his gift of new horses.

Despite the veterinarian’s warning about the risks involved, Fakher continued to care for her sick horse, showing unwavering dedication and love. The young rider persists in making frequent visits to the horse’s grave, offering sugar and apples as a tribute, despite the profound pain she endures from the loss.

Fakher dreams of one day educating fellow young Iraqis about various disciplines of horse riding, showcasing the deep bond and harmony between riders and horses.
