PričaNew Ministry Rules Affect Equestrian Carriage Operations in Chania Region
NO Chania is situated in the broader equestrian and sporting community of Chania, where recent regulatory changes are shaping the local environment. Greece’s Ministry of Interior has issued a new circular introducing fixed-duration, non-transferable carriage operation licenses for horses and other equids working in tourist areas. The reforms aim to enhance animal welfare standards, addressing long-standing concerns about oversight and the conditions under which equids operate in settings like historic Chania. These changes carry implications for all equestrian-related activities in the region, including those conducted by clubs such as NO Chania, by reinforcing regulatory expectations and welfare safeguards for working horses in the field.
