Morocco includes several breeds of horses, including the Arabian thoroughbred horse, the Berber horse, the hybrid between the Arab and the Berber, the English purebred horse and its hybrid, and sport horses. And each variety has ingredients that are not found in the others, as for the Arabian horse, it is the only one capable of improving the characteristics of the rest of other species and breeds. Just as the Moroccan royal family attaches great importance to the breeding of purebred Arabian horses, Moroccans do not hesitate to confess their love to him. It is a heritage that dates back thousands of years after the entry of the Islamic conquest in the Maghreb. The price of a horse in Morocco starts from 40 thousand dirhams and can exceed 2 million dirhams. As for the horses heading for the royal palace and the rich, the price is much higher. For lovers of the purebred Arabian horse and her breeders in Morocco, this mare is invaluable, as her beauty and value exceeds the quantities that can be determined by the market. Most breeders reject the profit logic of horse breeding. Most of them said, "Anyone who wants to make money by raising horses has to raise cows" in mind. Moroccan horse breeders initiated the creation of an association for which they chose the name "Moroccan Association of Arab Horse Breeders" to encourage their breeding and improve their breeds. The association began to organize competitions in which breeders and farmers displayed their horses and ponies, flaunting the beauty and elegance of their horses, and at the end of the matches they would receive financial prizes that would help them cover some of the daily expenses of horses such as feed or medical supervision. The Horse Breeders Association is working to organize special sessions for the annual Arab Horse Show, having ended up relying on purebred Arabian horses to represent Morocco in international sporting and cultural events, such as in countries with world famous horse breeders such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and others. Most breeders also find unparalleled pleasure in participating in the many competitions which are now known all over the country, either by choosing the most beautiful or the fastest horse. The Moroccan Association of Horse Breeders organizes two competitions for the king of the camel of the foal, under 3 years old, and horses from 4 years old. The race is subject to international standards. Competitors are keen to show off the beauty of the horse, whose head should be small and eyes wide. Neck length, strength, straight back and other things are also taken into account. The value of the competition prizes for the winner of the title of the most beautiful Arabian thoroughbred horse varies from 8,000 dirhams (800 euros) to 15 thousand dirhams (1,500 euros), as incentive bonuses. Thanks to the Arabian horse, Morocco has participated in several national and international festivals, such as the Meknes International Horse Festival, the Nimes International Fair and Saint Titien, France.
