Passports

Every horse is now legally obliged to have a passport and be microchipped. A vaccination certificate will not suffice for this purpose. Within 30 days of purchase you are required to send the passport to the organisation that issued it, so that you can be entered as the new owner both on the passport and in the Central Equine Database.
