Is everyone aware that from 1st October all horses, even if passported, must now have a chip? So 33 year old aimee donkey will have to have one, as while she has a passport, she wasn't chipped.
I have 7 equines, 6 different passporting agencies, 2 overseas ones which technically i have to transfer to a UK provider so they show up on the register. I checked mine on the register yesterday, Fleur is down as being able to go into the human food chain which is not what i passported her to be. Suze and Tintin unknown status as the french passports don't offer that option plus they are not UK registered.
Plus Scottish Govt is now trying to put horses into the same framework as agricultural i.e. mapping etc possible movement papers? they are writing to 70,000 Scottish horse owners - the ones that already are on a register as otherwise how did they get our details? Won't do anything for the ones who aren't registered.
Perfect timing when vets are still very stretched, and we are still social distancing.
