The El Jadida equestrian scene featured both international show jumping and traditional cultural competitions.

In the Morocco Royal Tour, Colombian rider Santiago Diaz Ortega secured two victories on October 16, winning the 1.45m CSI 5*-W event riding Karajan JT Z and the 1.50m Prix FBP International riding Jump For Joy. The latter victory, achieved on a course designed by Uliano Vezzani, served as a qualifier for the Grand Prix de Sa Majesté le Roi Mohammed VI. Although Diaz Ortega qualified for the Grand Prix with Jump For Joy, he noted the horse would not participate in that specific event to conclude its weekend.

During the 17th edition of the El Jadida Horse Fair, which ran from October 13 to 18, the Charaf El Bahraoui troupe from the Marrakech-Safi region won the King Mohammed VI Grand Prize for Tbourida with 484.02 points. Mokadem Mehdi Anjar of Marrakech-Safi took second place, while Mokadem Abdeljalil El Bouabadi from the Beni Mellal-Khenifra region placed third. The competition involved 18 troupes judged on rider movement, discipline, rifle handling, and gunpowder synchronization.

The event also celebrated Moroccan heritage through other sectors. Maison de l’Artisan presented awards for excellence in traditional saddle-making, rifle-making, and textiles to promote local handicrafts. Additionally, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) showcased the role of equestrian police in public order, environmental protection, and tourism, supporting the theme ‘The horse at the service of humans’.
