EQUINE
PASSPORTS
We
have reached the time when no more extensions have been, or are
likely to be, issued. DEFRA have stipulated that ALL horses
in the UK over the age of 6 months, must have a passport. You
should be aware that horses at Shows may be checked for passports and
you should always carry your passport with your horse when you travel
even to a small local show. It is now illegal for anybody to buy or
sell a horse unless it has a passport. If buying, please ask to see
the passport before agreeing the purchase. If you want to be sure
that there are no restrictions on the drugs your horse can be given -
also that it will not enter the human food chain at any future time -
be sure to complete Section IX in the passport. This can be signed
by your vet or if at anytime the passport is returned to this office,
can be signed then. Once you have completed the section stating the
horse is not for human consumption it cannot be reversed by any
future purchaser.
 Any
passport issued before 2002 needs to be checked to see if there is a
sheet in it headed MEDICINAL TREATMENT. If it is not there, to have
this sheet added free of charge, please send the passport to the
office, with a stamped addressed envelope, for its return. Left is an example of the only horse Outline Description sheet
that will now be accepted. This must be completed by a vet unless
the horse has a microchip inserted when the owner may complete it.
Please ensure that all markings and whorls shown in the diagram are
clearly described in the written section. No other markings
forms will be accepted in any format as they will not when
folded, fit into our passports.
There are 3 types of application form:
- 1) to apply for a passport and registration.
- 2) to apply for a passport for a horse already registered.
- 3) to apply for a passport for a horse not eligible for registration with us.
All our forms can be downloaded from this website go to the forms menu and they are there in .pdf format.
We can email you forms or if you send in a stamped addressed envelope we can post you hard copies. Will stallion owners please note this, and be sure to have a supply of the correct forms to issue to mares visiting their stallions.
Please check your passports on the first page bottom left. If you do not have a UELN 15 digit number shown please either email, fax or post a list of the horses names and UK Registration numbers of the passports that do not have these numbers. We will then send you out a label to be put on that page. Also please check your passports, if you do not have the section IX Medical treatments pages you need to send this in to the office (with a stamped addressed envelope for its return) to have these added.
