The knight and Dar win the King Mohammed VI Prize for show jumping.
The time difference determined the victory of rider Abdel Kabir and the "fierce battle" for the title of Morocco's champion in the "senior/adult" category of show jumping, today Sunday at the Dar Es Salam arena in Rabat, adding the "Grand Prize of His Majesty King Mohammed VI" to the collection of trophies in the filled house.
Dar, nicknamed "the rider of King Mohammed VI," entered the competition riding the horse "CHACSARA," and during two rounds, the atmosphere was marked by intense competition with the new champion rider Azoum Mohammed, riding the horse SIENNA AEG (who won the silver medal), and the bronze medalist rider Ghali Bouqaa with the horse IKE 1348.
At the conclusion of these competitions, Sharif Moulay Abdallah Alawi, President of the Royal Moroccan Equestrian Federation (FRMSE), oversaw the presentation of trophies and medals to the winning riders of the Morocco Championship.
In the morning session, the atmosphere of enthusiasm and fierce competition that captivated the audience at Dar Es Salam for the Prince Moulay Hassan Prize (under 13 years category) did not differ, where the title and gold medal were won by young rider Bicha Faysal riding the horse D’ANGEL LA TUILERIE (representing the Etrier de Casablanca), while the silver medal went to young rider Zahrane Mehdi riding the horse ELINE (representing Bouskoura Equestrian City); meanwhile, rider Bensalah Farouk riding the horse CON TENOR (representing the Etrier de Casablanca) finished in third place, winning the bronze medal (4 penalty points in the jump-off round with a time of 36.56 seconds).
