Organised under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the eighth edition of the El Jadida Horse Fair will take place from 13 to 18 October. The main novelty this year: the event is moving and taking up residence at the new El Jadida exhibition park. With an area of 46 hectares, the new site will make it possible to promote the richness and authenticity of the national equine heritage, thanks in particular to the setting up of a 7 ha zone for Tbourida in order to welcome the sorbas from the different regions of the Kingdom during the Horse Fair. The project will include two exhibition halls with an area of 1.9 ha. A car park that will be able to accommodate more than 2,000 vehicles will be located to the north of the exhibition halls.

Portugal will be the guest of honour this year," indicates a press release from the organisers. The programme for this edition will include a professional fair with artistic, cultural, and recreational equestrian activities that will bring the Barb horse, an element of our cultural heritage, to the forefront. Quality national and international competitions and demonstrations will also be on the agenda, among them, the International Barb Horse Championship, the National Arab-Barb Horse Championship, the International Competition (show A) of the Purebred Arabian (models and gaits), the CSI 1* International Show Jumping Competition, and the CSI 3*W International Show Jumping Competition, which constitutes the third stage of the Morocco Royal Tour, qualifying for the World Cup.
