Serious action shots come up next when gravity-defying stunts are performed on the show horses: one rider leans all the way back as a horse rears up on its hind legs; another rider holds himself upside down as the horse gallops . Another shot shows a rider stood on the backs of two horses simultaneously as he guides two more horses in front of them.

Team Z7 was founded by Her Highness Sheikha Maitha Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who, amongst other things, is known for her sporting passion, as a pioneering patron of high-goal Polo, as well as her prowess in Karate and Taekwondo, the latter of which she competed for the UAE in the 2008 Summer Olympics.
