I have a question. When you said all horses
participating must be registered. Do they are need to be pure blood? Here in the
USA, land on free enterprise, and anything for a buck, we even have a grade
horse registry. If someone thought they could make a dollar on it, there would
be a dead horses registry. So you could register your favorite horse even
after it has pasted away.
You said all horses participating must be
registered. In France can you register all horses? Just curious !
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?

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.
