Dubai‘s benevolent leader, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister and Vice President of UAE, recently extended a helping hand to Lania Fakher, an 8-year-old horse rider from Iraq. Lania had suffered the heartbreaking loss of her beloved horse, Jasno, prompting an outpouring of sympathy worldwide, thanks to a poignant video that went viral on social media.
A Special Bond Shattered
Jasno held a significant place in Lania’s heart. It was a precious gift from her father when she was merely 5 years old. When the horse fell ill, Lania spared no effort to save its life, defying professional advice. To her, Jasno was more than just a pet; he was her loyal companion and confidant.
A Heartwarming Gift
In an extraordinary display of empathy, Sheikh Mohammed decided to ease Lania’s grief by presenting her with a group of new horses. The thoughtful gesture aimed to bring a smile back to the young rider’s face and help her overcome the loss.
Empowering Young Equestrians
Sheikh Mohammed’s kindness didn’t stop there. In a bid to support Lania’s passion and talent, he announced plans to establish an equestrian center. This center will serve as a sanctuary for Lania to hone her jockey skills. Moreover, it will act as a learning hub for other aspiring young horse enthusiasts, offering them a chance to explore and excel in the world of horse riding.
