A phenomenal achievement for our school community — congratulations to Stella on securing 2nd place at the prestigious FEI Group 7 competition, ranking among the top youth dressage riders across the entire GCC.

Competing on the regional stage and earning a podium finish is no small feat. The result places Stella firmly among the leading young equestrians in the Gulf and is a true reflection of her dedication, the countless hours she has put into training, and her undeniable talent in the saddle.

About FEI Group 7

The Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) is the world governing body for equestrian sport. Its regional groupings bring together national federations for shared competitions and rankings, and Group 7 covers the Middle East, including the GCC nations. Securing a top-two finish at this level means competing against — and outperforming — the region’s most committed and accomplished youth riders.

Years of Dedication in the Saddle

Dressage is often described as the most precise of equestrian disciplines, demanding harmony between horse and rider, refined technique, and exceptional discipline. Stella’s success on the regional stage is the result of consistent training, focus, and a genuine love of the sport — qualities that go far beyond the show ring.

A Proud Moment for the Community

The entire school community, alongside the broader UAE equestrian family, is incredibly proud of Stella’s accomplishment. Achievements like this not only honour the individual rider but also inspire fellow students to pursue their passions with the same level of commitment.

A huge well done, Stella — we look forward to following your journey as you continue to represent our community on the regional and, hopefully soon, international stage.
