Equestrian pursuits in El Jadida, Morocco

All things equestrian are set to descend on El Jadida, Morocco, at this year’s Horse Show held from 21st – 26th October 2009 at the Princesse Lalla Malika racecourse.

The El Jadida Horse Show is ideal for both those who work within the equine industry as well as horse enthusiasts who can glean expertise and know-how from the professionals. The main exhibitors section encompasses a number of different zones which will be dedicated to various elements including dressage, competitions, horse husbandry, breeding, equestrian tourism and even art.

A varied daily program of performances and contests will entertain visitors, both day and night, throughout the 6 day show. The Shows and Competitions Section will prepare and manage the entertainment such as dressage horse shows, vaulting, an international show jumping competition, a Polo tournament, and the finals of the national breeding championships.

The Tbourida Section will be exclusively dedicated to the traditional Moroccan art of equestrian riding and each region of Morocco is represented by a “sorba”, comprising best-of-breed horses fitted with the finest tack reflecting their regional provenance and their riders.
