Hi guys
thanks for all the advice
We're planning on going out in February to do a rekky and look at properties etc and suitable areas to do our business.
Of course we'll definately be researching thoroughly - this is the rest of our lives and our life savings going into this so we need to make sure its a viable option. The good thing is that we'll still be having a small income coming from Britain which we would be able to live on while we're setting up the business, and then will be able to support us during quieter times in the winter.
We'll be bringing 2 horses over with us - one's a clydesdale x and the other's a shire x so they're both pretty hardy and don't need to be stabled in the UK (they will have to be in the winter in Bulgaria), and then we'll buy some Bulgarian Warmbloods when we move over.
Thanks for the link propertastic - very helpful! And yes - we are a fanatical bunch! Personally I much prefer to be riding in cold crisp weather rather than hot & swealtery, but I am a little mad!
As far as education - our son is nearly 2 and so won't be starting school for a few years. Maybe an international school would be an option? Or boarding school in the UK (I went to boarding school and turned out alright!!).
I know that land is quite hard to come by, but our plan is to buy a place with about 4000 - 5000 sq metres of land to start with, and build stables, and then possibly buy some agricultural land in the village once we get over there. At the end of the day, if the horses are being ridden virtually every day, we don't need acres and acres of land for them to roam around in.
Thanks for all your advice, and if anyone out there has any more info about the Elhovo area, please do let me know!!!
