Taking out a licence....Whyan FFE Equestrian Tourism licence?

The greater the number of FFE Tourisme Equestre members, the more weight we have with the authorities when it comes to setting up new trails or preserving existing ones.
The greater the number of FFE Tourisme Equestre members, the more resources we'll have to research, create and mark out trails, which can only be beneficial for everyone, because trails are the playground for all of us.
As members of the club, we are also supporting the existence and vitality of departmental (e.g. CDTE) and regional bodies.
In fact, part of the resources of these bodies comes from a payment from the FFE proportional to the number of Equestrian Tourism licenses issued in the department.

The FFE license makes you an important player in your department.
The missions of the Comité Départemental de Tourisme Equestre are exercised within the framework of the delegation granted by the Fédération Française d'Équitation.
They concern in particular:
1. The organization and coordination of activity calendars.
2. The definition of all regulations concerning equestrian activities and their possible application where these so provide.
3the organization of actions to promote equestrian tourism activities: the editing and publication of documents.
4. Participation in all organizations by affiliation or agreement to promote equestrian tourism activities.
5. Any other mission entrusted to the CNTE by the FFE within the framework of the agreement that binds them.
