Title: RE: [RC] Number of horses and riders in France

The whole process is managed by the Federation according to its regulation. Nothing related with government. It is the same with other disciplines.

Something like 6 thousands. To become a rider, there is a qualification procedure, for sure. It is also very similar in Belgium. First, to get a licence, one has to succeed in a exam. Depending on the type of license (don't ask me the details because I don't know) requirements change.

Is the license issued by the *governments*?  Or is there an association

that sanctions the rides and administers the tests and gives the qualified

people their "license" and has a rule that only people with a license

are allowed to enter a sanctioned ride?

 

That is, is the government involved in the rider licensing, or is it just

a private organization that basically has a rule that you have to pass

a test to become a participating member?
