Been reading this other thread with interest but didn't want to hijack it with my own queries!!
https://forums.horseandhound.co.uk/threads/moving-horses-to-france.799787/#post-14510746
Planning (hoping!) to move to France this year with 2 horses - if anyone has any useful info re horses for the Charente Maritime region would be most welcome! eg farriers/feed/instructors etc or the address of helpful french sites as struggled to find proper info so far!?
Hoping to have them at home but if we can't get enough land we're considering buying or renting some close by - however, I'm led to believe this may not be so easy? Does anyone know if you are allowed to graze horse on land designated as 'Groupement Foncier Agricole' - house we are currently looking at is fairly near Parthenay and I've been told there is a parcel of land next to it that we may be able to get as its just a tad short on acreage!
One agent told me there is a general right of way across farmland for horses in France - is this true? - other comments I've read suggest not!?
Thanks!
