 Al Saheel is an equestrian show (the very essence of the circus) based in Dubai&mdash;the first show of its genre to have its roots in the Middle East. The name "saheel" is the Arabic word to describe a horse’s whinny. The show was conceived, created, and is produced by Eileen Verdieck.

The true challenge was to find the right pedigree of riders; at first, the show revolved only around Eileen and Sonja Rasche.

 Trick riders from Hungary and an assortment of local riders were quickly added, trained to perform for an audience, and Al Saheel’s first production, ''The Voice of the Horse'', opened its doors on April 2009.  For the Middle East and the Arab world, this was, in its own quiet way, the beginning of a new era&mdash;the establishment of its first resident professional entertainment company.
