Yemen officially joins WAHO

MASCOT, Feb. 02 (Saba) - Yemen joined officially the World Arabian
Horse Organization (WAHO) after voting for accepting Yemen's joining
request in the WAHO's conference on Monday in Mascot of Oman .

The WAHO General Assembly conference which was attended by 400
members from 50 countries has approved joining Yemen to the WAHO
after presenting the request by the Deputy Minister of Youth and
Sports Hashid al-Hmar to the executive committee of WAHO to
register the Arab origin horses in Yemen.

Yemen also reviewed the joining decision draft of Yemeni horses to
be a new member in the WAHO.

The WAHO conference presented a recommendation that Yemen is
qualified to join WAHO because of its ancient history with Arab
horses, so its request was exceptionally accepted despite of the
WAHO's already issued a decree to end joining application, Hashid
said.

Hashid affirmed that Yemen is the Arab horses origin and the Yemeni
Equestrian Federation and Camels cares for conserving the Arab
horses dynasty .
