Rawabi, Palestinian Territories: Rawabi Stud Farm hosts the city’s first Arabian horse beauty championship, bringing together around 340 horses from the West Bank and Israel. Organisers say travel restrictions and Israeli checkpoints make the event harder to stage, but prize-winner Rashad Al-Sah says the Arabian horse remains deeply tied to Arab identity. “Arabian horse is a part of you, even if you do not own a horse of your own, but you feel that it is here [in the heart],” he says.
