Final Weekend Ahead: H.H. The Father Amir’s Prix 2026 Moves into Tour 4 at Al Shaqab
Doha, Qatar – International show jumping takes centre stage once again in Doha with Tour 4 of the H.H. The Father Amir’s Prix 2026, scheduled from 29 to 31 January at the prestigious Longines Arena at Al Shaqab. The final leg of the series will crown the overall circuit winners, bringing to a close an edition that has already delivered excitement, top-level performances and a total seasonal prize fund of €3,303,000, with €1,217,000 at stake during the final weekend alone.
Tour 4 represents a decisive moment both for the rankings and for the sporting atmosphere: three days of international competition, running from morning to evening, will see world-class riders compete across the CSICh-B, CSI1*, CSI3* and CSI5* categories.
A series built on spectacle
After three legs, the H.H. The Father Amir’s Prix reaches its conclusion with a clearly defined sporting narrative.
Tour 1 set the tone with three Grand Prix classes decided in jump-offs, launching a fiercely contested season. Tour 2 raised the bar further with the debut of the CSI5* and a memorable day for Scott Brash, who claimed victory in both the CSI5* 1.60 m Grand Prix and the CSI3* 1.50 m. Tour 3 confirmed the British rider’s dominance, once again securing a double win in the CSI3* and CSI5*, while Qatari combinations continued to impress with consistent performances in front of the home crowd.
The Tour 4 programme
The grand finale will unfold over three intense days. On Friday, the spotlight will be on the CSI5* classes, including the 1.55 m Jump-Off (LR A) and the highly anticipated Six Bars, always a crowd favourite.
Saturday will be the day of final decisions, featuring three decisive Grand Prix events:
- CSI1* 1.30 m
- CSI3* 1.50 m
- CSI5* 1.60 m, the undisputed highlight of the weekend.
Rankings: everything still to play for
After Tour 3, the CSI4*/5* leaderboard sees Scott Brash in the lead with 144 points, followed by Eve Jobs on 95 and Harry Charles with 84. Close margins behind them promise a thrilling battle right down to the final fence.
In the CSI1* standings, Saad Ahmed S A Al Saad leads with 49 points, closely followed by compatriot Hussain Said A M Haidan on 43. The fight for the podium remains wide open in this category as well.
Words from the organisers

Abdullah Al-Qashouti, Director of Marketing and Communication, echoed the sentiment: “This is where points, Grand Prix titles and overall winners are decided.
