xenon54 out · May 1, 2017

Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who is known to have close relations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has named a new horse he purchased “Erdogan.”

Al Thani bought the horse he named after President Erdoğan at a 2015 Tattersalls horse auction for around TL 4 million.

Erdogan is the offspring of the super horse Frankel, a British Thoroughbred racehorse, which has been unbeaten in his 14-race career and has been the highest-rated racehorse in the world from May 2011.

Three-year-old Erdogan is expected to begin races this year.

Arabs normally have a special bond with their Horses, of trust and respect. Most cared for Animals in royal families due to the special trust. Almost the bound is like family

The bond between the horse and rider in desert meant life or death (In old days) and it was common or tribes man to gift of a horse to their comrad

Sometimes the gesture expanded to unite the families by marrige of some relatives from a tribal cultrual prespective

Just a symbolic gesture hard for None Arabs to understand, its a cultural thing

You're right. It may seem odd to us but it's a gesture of respect and approval.
