Twenty-one Tbourida sorbas from four Moroccan regions gathered Tuesday in Bouznika to compete in the interregional qualifiers for the prestigious Hassan II Tbourida Trophy. The event highlighted the precision, synchronization, and regional traditions that define Morocco’s centuries-old equestrian art.
Far more than a spectacle, Tbourida is a codified art where every movement, command, and formation draws from a deeply rooted military past. Saddle up as we explore Tbourida, from its battlefield origins to the codes, tactics, and schools that define it today.
Thousands of traditional horse riders gather every year in Mansouria to bring new blood into a Moroccan horsemanship known locally as Tbourida. The practice has attracted foreigners and international media which were curious to know more about the medieval hobby.
