In December 2025, AMM Archery (Anna Sokólska & Michał Sanczenko) was invited to Doha, Qatar, to deliver horseback archery performances during international polo competitions at Almarsa Polo Club.

This was not just a show. It was a meeting point of high-level equestrian sport, tradition, and international cooperation.


One Arena. Different Disciplines. Same Precision.

Polo and horseback archery share the same foundation:
control, timing, and trust between rider and horse.

Performing in this environment meant adapting our discipline to a high-speed, high-expectation setting, where every detail matters.


International Show Team

The performances were delivered by a multinational team of riders, combining different schools of horseback archery:

– Anna Sokólska (Poland)
– Michał Sanczenko (Poland)
– Dimitar (Bulgaria)
– Walid (Syria)
– Abdul Rahman (Qatar)

This created a unique format — not only a show, but a cross-cultural presentation of mounted archery traditions.


Performance

The program included:

– fast-paced horseback archery sequences,
– coordinated group riding and shooting,
– demonstration of traditional techniques,
– elements combining sport performance with historical context.

The focus was clear:
precision under pressure, movement at speed, and visible control.


Behind the Scenes

Every performance required:

– working with new horses,
– adapting to local conditions,
– building timing and coordination within an international team.

No shortcuts.
No rehearsed routine brought from home.
Everything built on site.


Why It Matters

Projects like Doha are part of a broader strategy:

– positioning horseback archery in international equestrian environments,
– building partnerships beyond Europe,
– presenting Polish experience on a global stage.

This is not occasional exposure.
This is consistent international work.

From local training grounds to international arenas.
