Passports

Passports are important to prove identity when horses are being travelled, sold or competed and for food chain purposes.

All passports on being issued require a vet to complete an identification drawing and confirm the presence of a microchip or implant one if necessary.

Passport Facts:

• Every horse, pony or donkey should have a passport.
• You can be fined up to £5000 if you don’t have a passport!
• Passports must accompany horses whenever they travel, no matter the reason.
• The passport should be available whenever the vet attends for us to amend if your horse has had certain medications.
• Sadly, upon a death, the passports need to be invalidated by returning to the original issuer of the passport.
