Abu dhabi: The Emirates Arabian Horse Society has introduced the 'Rabdaan Electronic Judging System', a groundbreaking digital platform that underscores the UAE's leadership in utilizing advanced technologies to support equestrian sports and enhance the international status of Arabian Horse Championships.
According to Emirates News Agency, this new system underscores the Society's dedication to improving the standards of organization and evaluation in championships and competitions through a comprehensive electronic platform. The platform is designed to ensure maximum efficiency, fairness, and transparency.
The Rabdaan system facilitates complete electronic registration of horses without manual intervention, offering immediate verification of eligibility and automatic issuance of payment receipts. It also allows horse owners to monitor their horses' participation and conveniently download championship catalogues.
