Regulation
The EQUIPLAY is a club competition targeting young riders (riding horses or ponies) who compete in three disciplines: Equifun, Pony-games, and Carousel.
These games are considered one of the strongest moments of the Salon du Cheval d’El Jadida, given their showy and fun nature, on the one hand, and the density of the audience they attract, on the other.
Equifun : is a competition that aims to develop the rider's ability to master his ride through choices that match his skills and to enhance the grooming of horses and ponies by improving the quality of their dressage.
PONY-GAMES : is a team sport in which each individual shines, and the aim of these games is to prepare, in a fun way, to learn all the equestrian techniques.
CARROUSEL: a discipline that combines sports and equestrian arts. It requires a lot of focus and relationships between the riders who share magical moments when the horses dance to the beat of the music.
It is an attractive costume competition, which combines fun and show for the spectators.
To honor and encourage lovers of long-distance horseback riding outside the cities, the Salon du Cheval of El Jadida devotes an important part of its program to salute these riders who love horses and nature.
Thus, in each edition, the Salon welcomes and celebrates the many horse riding teams that arrive from different regions of the Kingdom after traveling hundreds of kilometers across mountains and plains, all the way to El Jadida.
