‘Golden Horseshoe’: A Guinness World Records achievement

DUBAI: His Excellency Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs, proudly honoured the Dubai Mounted Police Station for their outstanding achievement in obtaining a Guinness World Records certificate.

The record-breaking creation, a ‘Golden Horseshoe’, is the largest model consisting of horseshoes, showcasing the innovative spirit and ingenuity of the station.

The recognition ceremony saw Major General Khalil Al Mansouri express his gratitude for the unwavering support of His Excellency Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, who encouraged the work team in their pursuit of this remarkable accomplishment.

The ‘Golden Horseshoe’ is a unique and eye-catching piece, representing the UAE’s equestrian accomplishments. It comprises seven layers, each symbolising one of the seven emirates, and contains 1,971 horseshoes — a tribute to the founding year of the UAE and the establishment of the union.

The reused horseshoes were meticulously arranged and painted in a vibrant golden colour, resulting in a stunning final product.

Weighing 640kg and measuring 3.6 metres high and 2.8 metres wide with its base, the ‘Golden Horseshoe’ demonstrates the skill and creativity of the Dubai Mounted Police Station.
