Dancing Mirage SBM – GCAT London 2026
It was an incredible honour to return to the Global Champions Arabians Tour with Dancing Mirage SBM for the second year in a row.
Having experienced GCAT together last year, I felt that this year we stepped into the ring with greater confidence and an even stronger partnership. We trusted each other enough to give it our all, competing alongside some of the world’s greatest Arabian stallions and handlers on an international stage.
Mirage received improved marks from last year, positioning us strongly within the Top 10 on marks. For us, that is a fantastic achievement and something I am incredibly proud of. At this level, every improvement matters, and to see our partnership continue to develop on one of the biggest stages in the Arabian horse world means a great deal.
Dancing Mirage SBM is such an important part of my life. He is a horse who has helped me grow enormously as a handler, both in my skills and in my confidence. To be able to share an experience as special as GCAT with him, not just once but for a second year, makes the achievement even more meaningful.
Sarah and Peter have bred an exceptionally talented and versatile stallion, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been trusted with producing Mirage from the beginning. Watching him develop from a young horse into the stallion he is today, while continuing to show his ability across so many different areas, has been a very special journey.
GCAT 2026 was another important chapter in that journey, but certainly not the last.
We still have so much more to offer, and I am very excited to see where the future takes Dancing Mirage SBM.
