Interviewed By Sonia Smaldone

The Kingdom of Morocco continues to be one of the most traditional countries for horse breeding, mainly for the purebred Arabian breed, the ancestor of all the other horse breeds. Internally and externally, regardless of their position, everyone can freely make remarks according to their involvement in the Arabian horse industry.

In a general re ection emanating from the various actors of the Moroccan equine sector, many think the country can come out of its isolation at the international level if people invest in the development of the production of which breeders can manifest the hope of living well from their work, the ultimate reward.

Without any unnecessary attery, we have welcomed the arrival of Taha Khoudri, in the Moroccan National Judges Body since 2020, whose personality authenticates integrity and the determination to make things easy in the eyes of his compatriots, la- ter at the International level because, as the famous maxim goes, “Value does not wait for the number of years following the rst time of participation”. In this case, we can only commit to supporting those who come from familiar environments.

As a young boy, Taha became immersed in Arabian horse breeding through his older brother, a well-known Moroccan breeder who regularly participates in national competitions with deserving success.

To assess the necessary value of an Arabian horse, Taha considers it crucial that a horse possesses the traits corresponding to the genuine type of the Arabian breed, with a magni cent presence and good feet. It is essential to remember the participation of Taha Khoudri in the competition held at the Bouznika Regional Stud in 2002. Having received the consecration of a podium with the stallion Mahler, he would seal a commitment for the future.

Taha Khoudri started his Arabian horses breeding program in France near Toulouse, then in Morocco in Douar Bouaza in the suburbs of Casablanca with the name Al Firassa Stud. His ve precious horses were well kept, bringing the valuable experience necessary to become a recognized professional regardless of the place you want to occupy on the whole spectrum.

In the Kingdom of Morocco, the arrival of Taha Khoudri is a good thing for his country, along with the support of its frameworks and support for the actions essential to maintaining an activity as cultural as economics, and now more than before, given the ongoing di cult planetary conditions and the national social issues that all breeders worldwide encounter.

However, he should be joined by other young future judges, not stay alone in the actions, there as elsewhere. As elders (o en veterinarians) leave their place, renewal becomes essential. e process of rejuvenation is evidence of progress.

Taha Khoudri and I met a few years during various competitions in Morocco. I am particularly pleased that I have this bond of friendship with all of his family members who are maintaining a herd that is still capable of evolving in the country on their side.
