Tétouan, Morocco – September 19, 2025 – The Morocco Royal Tour experienced its first major highlight this Friday with the CSI 4*-W – 1.50m, a competition counting towards the world ranking and serving as a qualifier for Sunday’s Grand Prix. Ramzy Al Duhami (KSA) emerged victorious with Untouchable 32, after a fast-paced course that showcased the top international riders competing for a place in the weekend’s main event.

“It’s a fairly square track with excellent footing and an extraordinary atmosphere. For me, this is a perfect competition. The sporting level in Tétouan is quite mixed: some riders are with top horses, others with horses in training, and some are experiencing this level for the first time. It’s not easy to accommodate all of that,” explained Longis.

“The goal was to create a course accessible to everyone. Today’s ranking is the only qualifier for Sunday’s Grand Prix, and for many horses, it’s their first round of the tour. So it’s a warm-up course: fairly open, technical but not difficult, which requires riders to gallop and feel their horse. It also allows me to observe how the footing and equipment respond, to best prepare for the Grand Prix.”

Ramzy Al Duhami (KSA) won with Untouchable 32, the mare he rode at the last Olympic Games, in front of the packed stands at the Garde Royale in Tétouan. Already impressive earlier in the day with a 5th place in the 4* competition with High Quality J, he confirmed his form by delivering a faultless and ultra-fast round in 65.20 seconds in the Grand Prix qualifier.

“It was a great test to start the tour,” said Al Duhami. “We had a plan, and everything went as expected. Untouchable 32 was in top form and will likely compete in Sunday’s Grand Prix. I know she’s not the fastest mare, but I was able to gain time by taking out strides on the turns. She has improved a lot and is in excellent condition. We hope for a challenging Grand Prix because she loves to jump big, and we aim to reach the podium again.”
