The event was also hailed as one of the society events of the year, attracting the 'who's who' of Dubai to a most prestigious and unique venue; Ali Albwardy's Desert Palm Polo Grounds. Dhs150,000 was raised from the auction alone, contributing to the funds required for Riding for the Disabled to build a new riding centre developed especially for those with special needs. The new centre will not have sand which impedes wheelchairs, there will be no stairs to climb, and it will have enough space to accommodate all the special equipment.
