70% of all the riders finished this tough challenge and proved to be careful and respectful of the horse, without pushing him uselessly. At the top of the all – Gulf Countries podium stood GEL- NY (Madjani x Gelna), ridden by Al Abbar Mohd. Ahmed Hassan.

Gelny was also the winner of the best condition title and had always run among the first 5 riders from the start. He finished at 22,33 km/h (average speed!). The first European athlete to reach the finish line was the veteran Laurence Mosti with Baggio d’Armani at an average speed of 22 km/h.
