The final day of the 2023 World Championships in Doha was eagerly anticipated, and the organisers more than lived up to expectations. Qatar had reserved much pomp and circumstance for this day, and it proved to be a day to remember.

The final day began an official ceremony, thanking all the officials who had worked so hard during the show. And then, it was time for the horses!

The Yearling Filly World Championship was very strong, with all the judges nominating the same two fillies for the top two places. It would be Shahalel al Shaqab who was crowned Gold World Champion, thus retaining her unbeaten record. Silver World Champion was awarded to the almost perfect Shahbrys HVP while the exquisite Amirah Alymeen claimed Bronze World Champion.

The Junior Female World Championship was another extraordinary championship, with a ring full of outstanding fillies. While Nourah al Khalediah pulled out all the stops to impress the judges with her incredible presence and charisma, she had to settle for the Silver World Champion title. Instead, it would be the delectable D Beisan who claimed Gold Junior Female World Champion. This beautiful and very feminine filly was also the highest scoring horse of the show. Meanwhile, the elegant TM Bella was crowned Bronze World Champion.

The Senior Female World Championship offered plenty of drama and the judging was very intense. Eventually, with all but two judges placing her Gold, D Shihanah was crowned Senior Female Gold World Champion. The judges awarded the incredible Basmah Albidayer with the Silver, while Bshaier al Nasser received the Bronze.
