Hamood Sultan Al Tooqi

Chairman of The Olympic Equestrian Training Centre. ‘’I inherited my passion for equestrianism from my father, which in turn I passed onto my sons. Though it has gone through generations our passion and objectives stay the same; solid horsemanship, and to train hard to be the greatest we can be, while helping others along the way. Our hard work and dedication to our passion is never ending. We are constantly looking to better ourselves in our training and teaching. Our goal was somewhat achieved in 2010 Youth Olympic Games, Sultan won a Silver medal - the first Olympic medal for Oman! From then it was clear that our capabilities of being greater were certain. We have now shifted our focus to the Paris Olympic Games 2024. I have no doubt that greater things are to come and I hope my father can be proud of what has come of his dreams.’’
