Equine Passport Information
Horse Passports were made compulsory in 2007 and from 2009 all horses being issued with a new Passport must be Microchipped.
Horse owners must ensure that each donkey, pony and horse in their care has a Passport - you can be fined up to £5000 for not having a valid Passport!
Horses cannot be moved without their passport except in special circumstances such as a short hack/ride. This is primarily to ensure that no horses receiving certain medication enter the food chain and also to prevent the sale of stolen horses or ponies as the Passort should prove its identify.

1 If you do not intend your horse to enter the human food chain please sign Section IX of the Horse Passport, and confirm this to the practice for our records. If the entry needs to be countersigned by a veterinary surgeon, we will be pleased to do so at no charge.

Or

2 If you are content to allow your horse to enter the human food chain please be aware that the Passport MUST be available on every occasion that medicines are administered to the horse.

Sale of a Horse, pony or Donkey
It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that when you buy a new horse or pony that you receive a valid Passort which should be returned to the Passport issuing organisation within 30 days of sale to verify change of ownership.
