Horse riding in Morocco is deeply rooted in the country’s culture and traditions. Horses occupy a powerful symbolic place, particularly through the famous fantasia, a traditional equestrian display performed during festivals and celebrations. The Barb and Arab-Barb horses, emblematic breeds of the Maghreb, are at the heart of this equestrian identity. Morocco also has modern infrastructure, with equestrian clubs in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakesh and other major cities, all of which are partners of our Institute of Etiopathy.

The Royal Equestrian Sports Complex of Dar Essalam in Rabat hosts international show jumping competitions. The Royal Moroccan Equestrian Sports Federation oversees the official disciplines and develops the sector. Horse riding is practised both as a leisure activity and as a high-level sport. The country is also focusing on equestrian education for young people and promoting horse riding tourism. Between tradition and modernity, horse riding in Morocco combines living heritage and sporting dynamism.

Our students are also invited every year to attend a week-long seminar at the Royal Stud Farm of Sidi Berni, an iconic location for Moroccan sport horse breeding.
