Yessin Rahmouni[2][3] (also spelled Yassine,[4][5] born 2 October 1984 in Haarlem, the Netherlands) is an Olympic dressage rider.[2] Born in the Netherlands, he represents Morocco internationally. He competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where he finished 49th in the individual competition, making him the first dressage rider at the Olympics from the African continent. He also represented Morocco at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, finishing 44th in the individual competition.[3]

He competed twice at the World Championships, including the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy where he finished 81st. He competed with Floresco, the former horse of Patrik Kittel, also the horse he competed at his first Olympics in London. In 2022 he competed at the 2022 FEI World Championships in Herning with his horse All At Once, which he competed at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics.[6]

Riding accident

[edit]

In March 2024, Rahmouni had a serious accident. He fell from a young horse during training and broke his neck with three fractured vertebrae.[7] As a result, Rahmouni had to recover for months and it was uncertain whether he would be able to get back on a horse. Because his rehabilitation went well, Rahmouni was able to resume his training a month before the Olympic Games and made it to his third Olympic Games. He finished 42nd at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in the individual Grand Prix with a result of 68.696% on his horse All At Once. This result was his highest result at the Olympic Games so far, and so for Morocco. At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics he was also flag bearer.[8][6]
