Riyadh, April 13, 2025, The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL), in collaboration with the Equestrian Authority, has launched an Arabic glossary of equestrian terms. This resource targets enthusiasts and individuals interested in equestrianism and horses from diverse backgrounds, aligning with the academy's strategic goals to develop specialized glossaries that support the objectives of the Human Capability Development Program, a key component of Saudi Vision 2030.
KSGAAL Secretary-General Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi emphasized the academy's strategic role as Saudi Arabia's primary Arabic language reference, highlighting their glossary development efforts in serving key sectors. He pointed out the significant cultural importance of equestrianism in the Kingdom, leading to the glossary's development. It includes terms for competitions, participation, horse descriptions (physical, conformational, aesthetic), Arabian breed distinctions, colors, and ages.
