an official NEW HAMPSHIRE government website
On checking with N.H. Department of Safety we found that there were no special requirements for out-of-state equestrians to haul their own horses in New Hampshire, as they recognize all other valid state registrations. Other questions can be directed to them at 271-2251 or by writing to: Department of Safety, Motor Vehicle Registration, James H.Hayes Building, 10 Hazen Drive Concord, New Hampshire 03305-0002
Do I need any special papers for my horse?
You are required to have your horse tested and certified to be free of "all contagious and infectious diseases" before bringing them into N.H.
(State of NH - Dept of Agr. Rule Agr 2112.01) (See Legal Concerns for more detailed information.)
Where can I ride?
Like all other recreation activities, you should verify that you can ride on a trail before you get there. This is especially important on private land. Nothing will sour a landowner's attitude toward trails faster than having a bunch of people using their property without permission. Most N.H. State Parks and Forests road-width trails are open unless posted closed to your use. White Mountain National Forest has some areas open to riding; they can be reached at 603.528.8724.
I'm thinking of moving to NH, what kind of resources are available in your state?
Many people already live here with their horses, so many resources are readily available. The New Hampshire Horse Council is a very good point to start. You can find them at http://www.nhhorsecouncil.com/
