Recreational membership
Riders who don’t want to participate in competitions can apply for a basic membership (including insurance) at a club affiliated with Paardensport Vlaanderen. You can pay your membership at the club, who enters your membership in the online application.
Licence to compete in Belgium
Riders who want to compete in Belgium have 2 possibilities:
After having received your online application and riding permission, we will transfer the licence and send you an invoice via e-mail. When the licence is paid, you can participate in shows in Belgium.
Riders who already have had a competitive licence at Paardensport Vlaanderen can renew their licence online by logging in at Equibel. The payment is done online and the licence is immediately active.
Immatriculation of the horses
Horses can compete from the age of 4 years. Exceptions are included in the rules of the discipline you want to compete in.
A horse needs to have a correct immatriculation or registration. More info about the immatriculation of your horse can be found at Equibel.
Horses need to be vaccinated according to the veterinary medical regulations. The Belgian Confideration of Horses (= BCP) also imposes registration conditions for horses based in Belgium.
