Or perhaps I'm just being overly worried?
I have just registered with a new vet this morning - reason being that I want to get C chipped ASAP(all this talk of horse stealing is making me nervous) and the vet in question is due to come to my yard today to see one of the other horses.
I've registered and paid over the phone and the vet will chip my boy today even though C's passport and therefore my proof of ownership will not be available (it's in my house as I didn't know about the vet visit until this morning)
I offered to provide his passport number if they needed to confirm ownership but they said that was ok they didn't need this.
Is it just me or is it slightly worrying that they are willing to perform work on a horse having never seen proof of ownership or am I just being silly? It just seems like I could easily have phoned up to register a horse that wasn't mine and have it treated?
