Tom Schewe Claims His First 5-Star Victory on the Morocco Royal Tour

El Jadida, Morocco – October 17, 2026 – After two days of competition, the stakes were raised this Saturday at the Mohammed VI Exhibition Centre with the €57,000 MAMP / SOREC Prize CSI 5*-W -1.55m . Germany’s Tom Schewe (GER) claimed victory ahead of Switzerland’s Anthony Bourquard (SUI) and France’s Arthur Le Vot (FRA).

The first 5-star Grand Prix of the weekend, the MAMP / SOREC Prize, saw Germany’s Tom Schewe (GER) take top honours aboard his recently turned ten-year-old gelding, Lester.

Second to go, Belgium’s Jérôme Guéry was the first rider to deliver a clear round. It was not until Switzerland’s Anthony Bourquard (SUI) entered the arena as the 16th starter that a jump-off was confirmed. Italy’s Emanuele Camilli (ITA), France’s Antoine Ermann (FRA) and Arthur Le Vot (FRA), and Germany’s Tom Schewe (GER) also joined them with clear rounds.

In the jump-off, Jérôme Guéry and Clayboy immediately put the pressure on their rivals, setting a time of 39.94 seconds. Anthony Bourquard (SUI) and Festival Semilly soon lowered the benchmark to 37.76 seconds, ultimately securing second place. Arthur Le Vot (FRA) and Haristo du Gue also gave it their all but had to settle for third place in 38.86 seconds. Last to go, the eventual winners Tom Schewe and Lester crossed the finish line in an impressive 37.24 seconds.

“It’s an incredible day for me,” said the winner. “This victory is a reward for my entire team, and it belongs to them just as much as it does to me. We’ve come so close to winning so many times, producing fast jump-off rounds but often finishing with four faults. Today was our day. This is my first 5-star victory. I only started competing at this level a year ago in Aachen, so it makes this win particularly special. This was also my first time at the Morocco Royal Tour, and I’ll leave with unforgettable memories, not only because of this result but also because of the outstanding organisation, which I really want to highlight.”
