Royal Ride, Silver Stride
TDT | Manama Bahrain's Ministry of Interior lands silver at Windsor in style l Bahrain's Riders Jump Into the Spotlight Bahrain's Ministry of Interior showjumping team secured a strong second place at the Windsor Royal Horse Show in the UK, held from May 14 to 18. Going up against 54 top riders from 18 teams, Bahrain's riders showed they can compete with the best on the world stage. The event, first held in 1943, was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth II and is now attended by HM King Charles III at Windsor Castle. Adding to the occasion's prestige, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, HRH The Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and HH Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa were all present. His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa greets Mr. Abdulla Attiya Speaking exclusively to TDT, Mr. Abdulla Attiya, President of Bahrain Aquatics, said: 'The Royal Windsor Horse Show 2025 was a wonderful celebration of heritage, tradition, and connection. What stood out most to me was the strong and genuine bond between the Bahrain Royal Family and the British Royal Family, a relationship built on mutual respect and longstanding ties. It was great to see so many people with a connection to Bahrain, whether they've lived or worked there, all coming together for this occasion. His Majesty the King was incredibly gracious, greeting everyone warmly and creating a truly welcoming atmosphere. It was a memorable event that brought people together in a meaningful way.' It was a sentiment widely echoed by others in attendance — that beyond the silverware, the show stood as a powerful symbol of the deep-rooted friendship between Bahrain and the UK, a bond shaped by tradition, mutual respect, and royal ties that transcend borders and generations. Praise from the Top Major General Abdulaziz Mayouf Al Rumaihi, Director General of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science, hailed the achievement as a product of unwavering support from His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa. He credited the ongoing success of Bahraini riders to the strategic vision and commitment of His Highness in elevating equestrian sports both locally and globally. Ministry Support Key to Success Al Rumaihi also expressed deep appreciation to Interior Minister General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa for his continuous backing of the ministry's sports teams, praising the active encouragement of Public Security Chief Lt. General Tariq Al Hassan. Their collective support, he noted, has laid the groundwork for consistent international achievement. Learning from the Best Silver mattered, but just being at Windsor was a win in itself. Al Rumaihi highlighted the experience as a crucial opportunity for Bahrain's team to sharpen their competitive edge, learn from the world's top riders, and come back even stronger for future regional and global events.
