NO Chania

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.
