DOSSIER MAROCCO 2021-2022

Despite the virulent pandemic that in Morocco swept out many events like in other regions of the world, the Show Commission of the Association Royale Marocaine des Eleveurs de Chevaux Arabes (ARMECPSA) managed to establish a regional competitions program in compliance with the health and safety regulations, a very tight agenda, in a strict framework. However, it made it possible for breeders and owners to take their horses out from the boxes or in the meadows. It was a necessary event for the promotion of national breeding. The circuit did not introduce any particular novelty about the conditions of participation in 2021, the local shows have been practically on a par with the previous years. See the table below: BOUZNIKA NATIONAL STUD June 19th, June 2021 = 130 horses MEKNÈS NATIONAL STUD June 26th, 2021= 113 horses EL JADIDA NATIONAL STUD July 3rd, 2021 = 87 horses MARRAKECH NATIONAL STUD 10th, July 2021= 105 horses For several years, the 'Association Royale des Eleveurs de Chevaux Arabes of Morocco', as approved by the competent authorities, was very active under the leadership of Dr Vet Lahsen Fdail nowadays, it remains a relevant Organism of Selection (OS) that can ensure a status giving its responsibilities for placing the players in the breeding sector at the heart of the debate. By using different zoo-technical applications to the relevant bloodlines for the national herd, the current leaders of the Association are carrying out significant work in the shadows to support its members by continuing the development of the breed exclusively with traceable reproducers,the aim is to rule out overly fashionable subjects that will never guarantee the maintenance of a consistent breeding reservoir in the country. The specific characteristics of the Arabian horses in Morocco have to perpetuate through an accurate genetic evaluation of a private mare in-situ to ensure the preservation or the improvement of phenotypic and genotypic features for a population with an adapted morphotype. In 2021, a big challenge has been to ensure collective events at several genetic competitions promoting the development of old or new players in the sector, the hope for 2022 is to rediscover collective emotions in extended dimensions to attract young people. LITTLE STORY ABOUT THE 2021 NATIONAL SHOW FOR EGYPTIANS HORSES July 17th, 2021 El Jadida National Stud In the Kingdom of Morocco, the presence of Egyptian blood - 'iidha wulidat min al'ard, fa'aynama' adhhab hu watanium wakulu albashar hum waldi - has always been connected with the great history of peoples. Mostly in Egypt, the 'asil' horse was an abiding presence in the daily life of the natives, including the Nubian population that generated illustrious black Pharaohs, in their way conveyors of wisdom and traditions. The awakening of Moroccan lovers and defenders of the Egyptian horses - sometimes called 'Orientals' by Europeans - brings back to life fundamental interests to install, revive and allow a recovery aimed at a national production based on its biotope following millennial breeding traditions, a perfect resonance followed by private breeders, and a positive reversal in the Arab world with the twenty-two member countries of the Arab League. The country's main interest is to create a pluralism within the direct bloodlines that do not give rise to the controversy on consanguinity that is still a sensitive issue in today's world, the consequence of such a practice is impressive, a degeneration of the breeding products many aware equine geneticists has remarked, find below an exhaustive list of reproducers with Egyptian bloodlines present in Morocco: MARES ---------------------------------------- MAS ROMANA, 2007 by Ibn Morafic II (Ibn Morafic x Aslah) and Grea Rayanna (Classic Rayan x Grea Sharaffa AM MERIN BINT BINT MUNIRA, 2009 by Scharif el Bataa (Mameluck x Saida Bataa) and Am Munira bint Abbas Pasha (Abbas Pasha x Ansata Munira) KNIZA REJ, 2009 by Sir el Kaaba Rej (The Verdict HG x MB Lattiha) and Noor el Kaaba Rej (Badie Bouznika x Baraem) TOPIS KYONA, 2010 by Ibn Ikhnaton (Ikhnaton x Maydhia) and Jh bint al Kareem (Imperial Alkareem x JH bint Il Nasek) PSE MAISAH, 2012 by PSE Mubaarez (Imperial Baaron x Imperial Baarezah) and Imperial Kabaarah (Imperial al Kamar x Imperial Baarilla) BINT SADIIQ EL AAZ, 2017 by Exotic Sadiiq (Shagran al Nasser x Simeon Sarice) and Kahima bint Shaarifa (Shahada Shaafi x Kahima) STALLIONS------------------------------------ HARB, 1992 by Imperial Madheen (Messaoud x Madinah) and Royal Halipha (El Halimaar x Royal bint Pharrah) JRW AZIIM, 2000 by MB Attal (The Atticus x MB Madirah) and Sar Julyane (El Zawba x Sar Abriel Mirwan) MAGHRIBI, 2002 by Imperial Mashhar (Imperial Madheen x Imperial Janaabah) and Khemisset (Imperial al Kamar x PVA Turfah) IMPERIAL BISAAM, 2004 by Imperial Baarez (PVA Karim x BB Ora Kalihah) and Imperial Karree (Imperial al Kamar x Imperial Safillla) RAHAFAG, 2006 by Authentic Khazim (Maysoun x Kaliya) and Maresha al Kidir (Al Kidir x Kahila) ANOUAR BOUZNIKA, 2009 by JRW Aziim (MB Mattal x Sar Julyane) and Thee Black Pearl (Thee Desperado x Muraja Alichia) SHAHADA JUMAAN, 2014 by Rafahag (Authentic Khazim x Maresha al Kidir) and TB Jumaana (Ramses x Sulifah) VAN KAA, 2014 by Mahir Malik (Thee Desperado x Emira Katourah) and Dulce Liya (Abbas el Dine x Kaliya) EXOTIC SADIIQ, 2017 by Shagran al Nasser (Ansata Selman x Dana al Nasser) and Simeon Sarice (Imperial Madaar x Simeon Sayver). After many years of traditional breeding competitions, the creation of the Morocco Pyramid Society brought modernity to Morocco in the historical process of the sector, the formulation of objectives that can be carriers of relevant values for all the breeders of Egyptian horses, which have been the quintessence of equines for a long time. A spring of hope, the committed, sometimes forgotten, actors, Mr. Chleuhs and Mr. Rifains have one thing in common: to breed horses corresponding to the ancient splendour of the breed, an activity that they do not want to exercise under any influence or dependence, they are free men, at this event, it is possible to admire extraordinary male reproducers who can provide an essential reservoir in the Kingdom for a collection of broodmares with disparate origins.

For the future Arabian horse shows, news handlers must participate - real workers, not just a young boys with a big ego. All professionals or amateur handlers with ambition for the discipline are important for the future of the sector in Morocco, all professionals want to participate in show competitions that may result in a selection of reproducers on a national level, the success is subject only to the breeders.
