Bringing a horse from mainland Europe into the UK

[idefixbis]

I am planning to move back to the UK and so will also be moving my horse from Belgium to the UK.
Does any one know what paperwork is required.
He is microchipped.
He is up to date on his shots (does not have rabies though)
He has a passport.

I don't think there's any blood work like for dogs and cats as that is only for carnivores.

Export licence & I am sure health papers. France do not require health papers, Holland does. A reputable transport company can get these for you. I know how to do it from this end but wouldnt know 'from' Belgium

They've just taken the horses to Belgium again, here's the thread

Might be worth sending a PM

All you need is his passport and TRACES document (that is health papers from local department vet - he must travel within 24 hours of having TRACES document done)

There are no mandatory vaccinations. Very simple!
