Prince Moulay Hicham Victim of Serious Fall

The accident occurred at the Polo Club during the Saint-Tropez Gassin Spring Tour 3, held from April 1st to 12th. Accompanied by rider Amine Lyazidi and manager Mina Lyazidi, the prince was on an equestrian tour. His main horse having fallen ill and been quarantined, he had to compete with a replacement mare that he was riding for the first time.

After a successful first day, a lapse in attention the following day resulted in a serious fall. On social media, the rider acknowledged full responsibility, explaining that he had let his guard down thinking his position was secure. Despite severe pain when remounting, confirming a fractured rib, he downplayed his injury by quoting industrialist Henry Ford on the ability to learn from failure.

On the sidelines of this competition on the Côte d’Azur, Moulay Hicham crossed paths with his compatriot Abdelkebir Ouaddar. The latter is establishing himself as Morocco’s most decorated rider in the discipline, with two Olympic participations and his status as former flag bearer for the Kingdom at the Rio Games in 2016.

At 62 years old, the cousin of King Mohammed VI divides his time between international equestrian circuits and the academic world. This researcher affiliated with Harvard and teaching at Stanford, known for his advocacy for constitutional reforms in the Arab world, has already announced his return to competition once recovered.
