Thanks Nakipa, that is really helpful and thanks also for the link. It all seems very organised in France!

Gosh, I didn't know so thank you for that. Where do you compete when you come to Limousin?

Thanks for the information. Is the dress code the same as BD (e.g. gloves required), and things such as no bandages/boots etc the same too? Many thanks

Thanks Palindrome. I think photocopies is a good idea just in case. Thanks for your help and advice.

I love Shropshire, but full time work to pay the mortgage is a daily grind. We are keeping our lovely Shropshire home and renting it so we will not be gone forever!!! Many thanks for the website!

Thanks Polly, I am an early morning rider so 6am in the summer would be wonderful. We are prepared for the cold winters, apparently it went down to -16 in our area a couple of years ago as you mentioned too!

Many thanks for this, I have started looking at the procedure for the SIRE number, but I am concerned about my ONC horses, but the information you have shared is really helpful, again I think I can compete dressage/SJ at club level with ONC horses, I don't do Le Trec or western unfortunately...

Thankfully Annagain, we have opened our Bank accounts, so one complication out of the way!!

Thank you for all the information Woody. Can I just check - if I do Galop 7, does this mean I cannot compete at Club level, but go into Amateurs? As my mare has no breeding I do not think I can do anything more than club, just wanted to make sure my thinking is correct. Do I need Galops to...

Thank you so much for the detail, it will help us enormously!

Thanks so much Woody. How are you finding the level 7 to learn? Are you in/near Limousin?

thanks for this info, it is really useful! Thank you for everyone's input, I feel that the more knowledge I have the better prepared I will be!!

Thanks Rollin, it is nice to know that I can compete, if I can't use my mare I may consider buying another horse in France, as I enjoy competitions just to keep me on my toes, to be honest 1.05/1.10 is plenty nowadays for me!! I have had a look at the FFE site, so I presume when I have...

Hi Wishful and thank you....I hope I can pass a DR's Cert!! I have found a site for haylage/bedding delivered by the pallet, so may try that initially as my horses are on haylage at the moment.

Thanks Nikki, what a shame you are so far away. The information about insurance is new for me, so that will be high on the list. I have found a few equestrian centres locally to me, so hopefully they will be able to help too. Thank you again for all your advise, it is much appreciated. Carol
