The main Arabian racehorse sale in Europe takes place annually at Saint-Cloud racecourse in Paris on the Thursday before the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe meeting at the end of September, beginning of October. The sale is organised by Arqana, and catalogues and past results may be viewed through their website www.arqana.com. It is a mixed sale, with a selection of horses in training, youngstock, broodmares and stallions catalogued each year.
There are also a growing number of online auction houses which offer Arabian racehorses including www.auctav.com and the Middle Eastern Equine Auctions which are regularly held via Instagram and WhatsApp. The Emirates Racing Authority and the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club also hold small auctions at Meydan and Al Rayyan racecourse respectively, throughout the Gulf season.
Racehorses may also be sourced directly from breeders or trainers, or you may choose to breed your own. Racing Arabians may be bred by Artificial Insemination (AI) which allows breeders worldwide a much greater choice in stallion selection; Embryo Transfer (ET) is also permitted (though individual countries have their own restrictions on ET horses racing against full siblings). In the UK Arabians must be registered with the Arab Horse Society and may commence racing from three-years of age.
