April 17 - April 19
The Global Champions Arabians Tour (GCAT), the world’s premier Arabian horse championship series, will make its grand debut in Miami Beach this April. Set to be the season’s most prestigious and exhilarating equestrian event, the inaugural Global Champions Arabians Miami Beach presented by Qatar Airways will showcase the unrivaled beauty, power, and grace of the world’s finest Arabian horses against the iconic, vibrant backdrop of Miami.
From April 17-19, 2025, the shores of Miami Beach will transform into a world-class equestrian arena where elite Arabian horses and their expert handlers will vie for championship titles and earn crucial points in the overall Tour standings. With over $2.7 million in prize money for the GCAT Americas circuit, this three-day event will offer a thrilling mix of top-tier sport, luxurious hospitality, and quintessential Miami lifestyle experience.
As part of the 2025 Global Champions Arabians Tour, the Miami Beach stage marks a pivotal moment in the Tour’s expansion across the Americas. It follows the season opener in Scottsdale, Arizona, and precedes stages in São Paulo, Brazil, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, and Las Vegas, Nevada, before the ultimate showdown at the World Arabian Horse Championship Supreme in Doha, Qatar.
“We are honored and excited to bring this event to Miami,” said Faleh Al Nasr, Chairman of the Global Champions Arabians Tour. “This is more than just a championship — it’s a cultural celebration. Miami, with its global appeal and love for elite sporting events, is the perfect stage to highlight the artistry and magnificence of Arabian horses. With direct flights and effortless access to the Middle East, Miami serves as a bridge that will continue to connect people and cultures through a common passion.”
With the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop, spectators will experience the grace, power, and allure of the world’s most exceptional Arabian horses as they compete in categories judged on type, head and neck, body, legs, and movement. Each performance is a mesmerizing display of athleticism.
But this isn’t just any horse show — it’s where the prestige of Arabian horse culture meets the pulse of Miami luxury. Every detail of the event has been meticulously designed to reflect the city’s rich heritage and electrifying energy, creating an experience that extends far beyond the arena. From the moment guests arrive, they’ll be immersed in Miami’s iconic history, with bold Art Deco design and a vibrant color palette setting the stage.
The VIP hospitality experience, exclusively curated by Major Food Group, will offer an unparalleled culinary journey throughout the three-day event. Guests will indulge in dishes from world-renowned restaurants such as ZZ’s, Carbone, and Sadelle’s — ensuring that every bite feels like a celebration of global culture, elegance, and taste. Enhancing the immersive atmosphere, a dynamic interactive village will serve as the heart of the event, offering food, beverage, and shops that pay homage to Miami.
“We love being part of moments that bring this level of excitement and energy to Miami, and we’re thrilled to bring our signature culinary excellence to this prestigious event,” said Jeff Zalaznick, Co-Founder of Major Food Group. “We promise an elevated hospitality experience that complements the elegance and excitement of the competition, and that every bite is as unforgettable as the world-class competition unfolding on the sand.”
