Moroccan equestrian art being an important part of the country’s culture, especially with the famous Tbourida, this ceremony was an opportunity to confirm that all the factors are in place to say that equestrianism and equestrian sports in Morocco are passionately pursued.

The means are thus put in place for Morocco to continue to be present in the sphere of high-level equestrian sports under the impulse of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who encourages its practice and development.

This impulse is translated on the ground by the work of the Royal Moroccan Federation of Equestrian Sports and its president Charif Moulay Abdallah Alaoui, who has placed at the disposal of Moroccan riders all the necessary means to make Moroccan equestrian sports shine in the world.
