The 2024–2025 sporting season concluded on Sunday 18 May at the Hippoclub in Chorfech (Sidi Thabet) with the Tunisian Show Jumping Championship for the senior category.

After two days of competition featuring extremely close results, the third day revealed the winner: rider Omar Trabelsi, with his horse Black Star from the Hippoclub Association, was crowned Tunisian champion following a clean round.

We also congratulate the runners-up in second and third place: rider Ghazi Ellouze with his horse Brasilia from the Friends of the Horse Association, who took second place, and rider Mohamed Ghizani with his horse Edbert de Haussuyt from the Hippoclub Association, who secured third place.

A big congratulations to the other participants in this tournament who showed great determination to join the ranks of the winners.

In order to protect the health of horses and combat the spread of contagious equine diseases among horses participating in equestrian sports events organised by the Tunisian Equestrian Sports Federation or in competitions organised under its supervision, and following the availability of the vaccine against equine rhinopneumonitis in Tunisia (combined vaccine with equine influenza), it will be mandatory, with effect from 1 June 2026, for all horses participating in national and international sporting events to be vaccinated in accordance with the vaccination schedule against infectious diseases in horses (equine influenza, equine rhinopneumonitis and rabies).
Furthermore, the Tunisian Equestrian Sports Federation invites the presidents of the equestrian sports associations affiliated to it to attach the utmost importance to this matter and to raise awareness amongst their members and supporters regarding compliance with preventive measures relating to biosecurity procedures, in order to ensure the continuity of sporting activities throughout the sporting season.
Sanctions will also be applied for any violations observed. For further details, click HERE.

With rising summer temperatures accompanied by high humidity during the day and night where the heat index (the sum of recorded temperature and humidity) exceeds 98, you should closely monitor your horse for the following warning signs of heat stress:

- rectal temperature above 39.5°C;

- rapid respiratory rate over 40 bpm, elevated heart rate over 60 bpm at rest;

- profuse or absent sweating;

- sudden fatigue, muscle tremors, dry gums with a filling time exceeding 3 seconds;

- dehydration with a skin fold that lasts more than 3 seconds.

- dark urine, prostration, loss of appetite.

Prevention is better than cure:

- Provide fresh water day and night, to which 30 to 60 g are added per day, and electrolytes by soaking hay or pellets.

- Showers and ventilation with misters are recommended, allowing for a rapid drop in body temperature. - Provide shaded and well-ventilated shelters, whether in a paddock or a stable.

- Avoid sporting activities between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

- Transport: a risk that increases the risk of heat stroke, and therefore, ensure maximum ventilation with stops every 1.5 hours, misting with water and electrolytes at each stop, and avoid journeys between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
