| Origins and Characteristics of the Moroccan Saddle |
Historically, the saddle of the Asian peoples in the north or the east has imposed its character in a wide geographical area, with the Mongol, Turkish, Ottoman, Polish and Hungarian saddles. It is not surprising to find types of saddles within the same field and within the same temporal period, but the shape closest to the Moroccan saddle today is certainly the saddle of the tall and semi-vertical backbones that appeared in Persia in the 14th century, which comes back In turn to the Khwarizmi saddle (or what is called the Persian saddle or Ajami).
According to the son of Manjali (1317), the Persians are the spread of this type of saddles in the form of known knots, and the passengers of the broad plate and short passenger ties with a ring with a ring. All of these features are related to the equestrian art of mobility and mobility necessary for military maneuvering. The saddle was developed between the 14th and 15th centuries, which consisted in the reduction of the length of the passenger's ligament, which changed the position of the knight. The wicker was curved forward, the knees were tied, and the legs were more shrouded in the passenger's feet. Is prevalent in North Africa to today).
Historians believe that this shift is due to the Iranian influence on Arab equestrian, on the one hand, and to the appearance of al-Qadafah as a weapon instead of a bow. If this type of weapon is characterized by its accuracy and effectiveness, the weight and needs of the knight of stability during the correction must be in a high position with the possibility to rely on the front and rear crossovers in a way that allows the Knight to control his balance. The Khwarizmi saddle continued to spread on vast lands from Persia to Morocco through Egypt until it became between the 18th and 20th centuries as a model of Islamic equestrian in general and equestrian in particular. The 19th century was a major development for modern weapons that allowed for remote fighting. This led to the decline of equestrian arts in the Muslim world; however, equestrianism in the Maghreb has maintained its status and evolved because of the abundance of horses. Local horses have played an important role in the extension of equestrian art in the Maghreb. Historians agree on the weakness of the hypothesis of the arrival of Islamic armies to North Africa horses of Arab origin, for objective reasons, including:
- The vow of horses originally in the desert area, which is more suitable for camels.
