Union Properties PJSC (UP), one of the leading property developers in the UAE and the sole sponsors for the dressage season competition, presented championship trophies and rugs to the winners of the series at the ‘UAE Dressage Riders Championship 2007’ prize ceremonies held on April 23 and 24. Marking the end of the season that started in November 2006, the prize ceremonies were held at the Emirates Equestrian Centre in Dubai. UP’s third consecutive participation in the event has lured interest within the company to exclusively support the whole series, making them the first corporation in the country to support an entire dressage season.
“With the increased popularity for equestrian sports events in Dubai, UP is honoured to be part of this dressage event, we are dedicated to raising the awareness of the sport in the country,” Simon E. Azzam, Chief Executive Officer, UP. “Dressage is an artistic sport that requires the horse and rider to combine the strength and agility of gymnastics with the elegance and beauty of ballet. It represents the excellence and perfection in the art of riding. Supporting such an event is an evident choice for UP as the sport closely reflects on our brand values of excellence, quality and attention to detail that are implemented within all our projects.
The ‘UAE Dressage Riders Championship 2007’ that marks the end of the season, consists of four top riders of the season in each category competing for the year’s title. UP presented trophies to winners in the following categories; the Team Competition; Junior Individual Class; Pure Bred Arab Class; Elementary Individual Class; Novice Individual Class, Medium/Advance Individual Class and Prelim Seniors Individual Class.
“I would like to congratulate all the winners and participants who have been part of this exciting series, they have accomplished a high standard of performance and their hard work and consistency is the result of their achievements,” said Azzam”
