I thought people might interested to know about a new requirement in the UK from 1st July 2009. As I understand it this is not retrospective, if the horse has a passport then it is unaffected unless it needs a new passport for some reason.
All horses issued with a new passport after 30th June 2009, must be microchipped.
Foals must be identified before 31st December of the year of its birth
or within six months of birth, whichever is later
