\n\u2022 Sergey Buikevich, Advisor to the Federation President,
\n\u2022 Aset Tolkumbekov, Head Coach,

The competition took place in an evening format in the indoor arena of Maxima Park.
\nThe stands were completely full, with spectators standing in aisles and corridors \u2014 clear evidence of significant public interest. The sports program was complemented by performance elements, turning the event into a vibrant equestrian festival.<\/p>\n
The level of difficulty was exceptionally high.

\n\u2022 15 jumps,
\n\u2022 12 obstacles,

Kazakh riders did not participate this year. However, according to Sergey Buikevich, Advisor to the Federation President,
\nthe Kazakhstan national team is ready to compete at this height.
\nResults from the 2025 spring season confirm that Kazakhstan\u2019s top riders meet the necessary performance level.
\nThe upcoming season will be crucial: the national team is preparing for international starts, including the World Cup stage in Astana, the Eurasian League Final, and preparations for the Asian Games. These events serve as a foundation for strengthening the national show jumping school.<\/p>\n
The President\u2019s Cup is significant for the Eurasian Equestrian Association, which unites 11 countries of Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
\nThe tournament demonstrates that cooperation within the association enables the creation of competitive, high-level events that attract broad audiences.
\nIts organizational practices and sporting standards are seen as a benchmark the Kazakhstan Federation aims to adopt.<\/p>\n
According to Dauren Akhmetov, Vice President of the Federation, the tournament showcased a clear organizational structure, a thoughtful sports program, and courses built using high-class horses, ensuring a strong technical level. Observing such competitions provides valuable practical insight into international standards, which can be applied to improve Kazakhstan\u2019s own events.<\/p>\n
Endurance remains a key area of cooperation between Kazakhstan and the UAE.
\nKazakh riders successfully compete in endurance events in the Emirates, while UAE judges, veterinarians, and organizers regularly participate in competitions held in Almaty, Mangystau, and other regions.
\nThe Aday horse breed has already proven competitive in endurance racing, giving the discipline strong potential for future growth.<\/p>\n
Astana is strengthening its role as a regional sports hub.
\nHosting the Eurasian League Final in 2026 is regarded by international partners as an expression of trust \u2014 and a responsibility for the Federation to deliver world-class organization.<\/p>\n
The UAE President\u2019s Cup has become a clear example of how a sporting arena can serve as a platform for international dialogue, cultural exchange, and strengthening relations between nations.
\nAccording to Sergey Buikevich, the key conclusions for Kazakhstan are:
\n\u2022 expanding international participation of Kazakh athletes,
\n\u2022 deepening cooperation with foreign partners,
\n\u2022 strengthening engagement with embassies represented in Astana.<\/p>\n
This format enhances both the sporting and cultural-diplomatic dimensions of equestrian development in Kazakhstan.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
