Shaikh Mohammed also toured other stands related to falcon breeding and training, and tracking equipment, as well as the stand of Al Ghadeer Project, a UAE Red Crescent micro-financing initiative that seeks to empower Emirati women using the age-old practice of indigenous arts.
The Vice-President also visited the national, Arabian and international stands specialised in equine equipment.
Shaikh Mohammed examined the “Falcon Centre”, the national company specialised in importing, breeding and selling world class falcons. He also stopped at The International Fund for Houbara Conservation (IFHC) stand, Emirates Falconers’ Club stand, Shaikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nayan World Arabian Horse Racing Conference France 2013 stand, Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup stand, Ajman Stud stand, and Abu Dhabi Environment Agency stand.
