Belgian success in international equestrian sports in Morocco
Published
A prestigious international equestrian competition took place last weekend in the Moroccan city of El Jadida. During this five-star event (CSI5*), riders from all over the world gathered to showcase their skills at a high level.
The victory in the 1.45-meter class went to rider Santiago Diaz Ortega. He managed to win the competition with his horse Karajan JT Z. This horse is a gelding bred at the renowned Belgian studbook Zangersheide.
Although the winner himself is not from Belgium, the success of the horse Karajan JT Z is a notable moment for Belgian horse breeding. The Zangersheide studbook is internationally known for providing top-quality sport horses that regularly win prizes at major tournaments.
The performance in El Jadida once again highlights the strong position of the Belgian equestrian sector in the world of show jumping. For the many Belgian horse enthusiasts, it is a great result to see how a Belgian-bred horse shines on the highest international stage.
