Al Maktoum’ s love story with large horses began when he was a child. He had often shared his breakfast with them and grew up riding them on beaches in the city of Dubai. That love would remain with him all throughout his formative and even adult years, and before long, he started assembling his own horse racing team. That team, Goldophin, is now the very largest in the entire globe and has facilities in several countries, including the USA, Japan, Ireland, Australia, England, and the UAE.
