With fourteen of some of the very best showjumping nations in the world present at the second venue of Morocco Royal Tour, CSIO4*-W Rabat, the stage was set for superb sport and lots of emotions.

As the Morocco Royal Tour now moves on to its third and final stage in El Jadida, here is a little look behind the scenes at the colourful venue in Rabat.
