Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach:
Where Horses, Celebs, and Glamour Collide
The Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach was more than just a horse show—it was a full-blown cultural spectacle. With Arabian horses trotting gracefully along the sands, DJ Khaled shouting “We the Best!” under a Miami moon, and a sea of celebrities clapping from VIP cabanas, this event galloped into the spotlight as one of the year’s most memorable beachside affairs.
From April 17–19, 2025, the shores of Miami transformed into a dazzling arena, welcoming over 100 world-class Arabian horses and their handlers to compete in this elite equestrian event.
This wasn’t your average trot in the park—this was the second stage of the prestigious GCAT Americas series, featuring a $2.7 million prize pool and judged categories that put beauty, movement, and form in the spotlight.
Star-Studded Sand and Arabian Power
It wouldn’t be Miami without the sparkle. Jeff Bezos, Jeremy Piven, Bethenny Frankel, and Terrence J were just a few of the familiar faces spotted soaking up the glamour.
Whether they were enjoying beachfront cocktails or cheering on their favorite horses, the A-listers turned out in full force to support what has quickly become the Oscars of Arabian horse events.
And when the final sunset hit on Saturday, Tasheem PMA, owned by Theresa Lungwitz of Royal T Arabians, trotted away with the Senior Stallion Champion title—proving once again that grace and muscle can share the same stage.
The closing ceremony was nothing short of epic. Think aerial acrobatics, immersive light shows, and a surprise DJ Khaled performance blasting “All I Do is Win” as confetti rained over the beachfront crowd. It was part awards show, part concert, part magical Arabian dream.
Sting, Flo Rida, and Horses? Only in Miami.
The tour kicked off with a beachfront performance by none other than Sting, whose soulful serenade set the tone for a weekend packed with unforgettable moments.
Flo Rida brought the house down Saturday night with a high-energy performance that had everyone—from Real Housewives stars Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, and Kiki Barth to Mayor Francis Suarez—dancing barefoot in the sand.
Even more buzzed-about attendees included Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, model Karolina Kurkova, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, and food scene moguls Mario Carbone and Jeff Zalaznick. Let’s just say the guest list alone could've shut down South Beach.
A Culinary and Cultural Affair
This was more than an equestrian competition. The VIP hospitality experience, curated by Major Food Group, brought flavors from top-tier restaurants like Carbone, ZZ’s Club, and Sadelle’s directly to the beachfront. It was luxury dining with a salty breeze and hooves in the background.
Guests strolled through a vibrant event village filled with curated retail shops, art displays, and international pop-ups that celebrated both Arabian heritage and the dynamic spirit of Miami. It was where Old World majesty met New World flair.
The Tour Continues
Presented by Qatar Airways, and supported by luxury brand Richard Mille, the Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami followed the 2025 season opener in Scottsdale, Arizona. Next stops include São Paulo, Brandon (Canada), Las Vegas, and finally, Doha, Qatar for the World Arabian Horse Championship Supreme.

Miami, Meet Arabian Royalty
Miami Beach has hosted its fair share of iconic events—but this one truly redefined beachfront luxury. The Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach brought the world of Arabian horses out of the desert and into the limelight, blending championship-level competition with celebrity glamour, fine dining, and immersive entertainment.
As Faleh Al Nasr, Chairman of the Tour, said it best:"We’ve brought the passion and artistry of Arabian horses to a global audience here, in a city that embraces culture, elegance, and excellence."
And judging by the roaring applause, the shimmering lights, and the after-parties
that lasted till dawn—Miami said yes to the ride.
