Pauline,

 

It may not mean anything to Maryann, but I found your post to be very interesting, even though I do not and never will compete on a FEI level, and its an almost certainty that I will never move to France.  Heck, being a small breeder of foundation Appaloosas in Oklahoma, we never thought we would ever export a horse outside the USA.  But this spring we did just that, shipping a 3 year old filly to her new home in England. And what a learning experience that was. 

 

Are there endurance rides in France that are not FEI but similar to our AERC rides?  

 

Cheers to you Pauline and 'appy trails.....................................Merry

well.... I think it gives an idea of where our sport is or could be heading to in the future - so potentially relevant to all other 'endurance' countries?

 

I thought it might be interesting for some people to hear about a different system and it's recent changes

 

apparently that's not the case

WHOA! So only *registered* horses can compete in France? BUMMER. I know
you guys have a very serious breeding program but now this sounds as if
the competitions are only there to promote the breeding programs. What a
drag.
