Connections
French Horse Industry
Horse SA would like to sincerely thank the Normandie Horse Council for hosting a recent visit by Dirk Beelen, SA Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment and EO Julie Fiedler, Horse SA. Arising out of building cooperation through the inter-generational submarine project between South Australia and France in culture, arts and sport, the visit had a focus on the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two horse councils. An excerpt is below:
Both parties agree to bring their expertise and skill to develop the collaboration in the following areas:
student and intern exchange;
extension of exchange programs (summer camps etc.);
transfer of professional expertise;
elaboration of “market gates” between the two countries
visits, internships and equestrian and linguistic training courses in both countries;
participation of both parties’ employees in joint projects and commitment to the sustainability of the partnership;
exchanges of visibility;
collaboration between French and Australian stud farms;
exchange and collaboration between French and Australian start-ups in the equine industry;
exchange and collaboration between French and Australian riding-clubs

Later in the day a visit to Haras National Saint Lo, a venue for a past World Equestrian Games. If your club or business would potentially like to become involved in the future, email Horse SA, as in many cases we will act to 'join-up' or provide contacts or referrals.
The visit also included meeting with the Brittany Horse Council at Haras National de Lamballe, and with Berengere Lacroix, Director, Selle Francais Studbook, Emilie Goulas of UELN, World Horse Identification and Data Exchange Committee and Innovation Manager at the French Institute of the Horse and Riding, and Anne Jumacourt of Normandy Horse Commerce.
