Hi. Have a friend who will be coming to UK to study at university from France. He wants to bring his horse - what paperwork will he need in place? Struggling to find info searching info as it isn't being purchased by anyone. Thanks

No, registered horses and equidae for breeding and production moving between these countries do not require a health certificate or clinical inspection (except horses for slaughter).* Animals must be accompanied by a passport or an identity document issued by a breeding authority or any other competent authority which manages the studbook register for that breed of animal in the country of origin; or any international association or organisation which manages horses for competition or racing. *

And more here The ‘Tripartite Agreement’ is an agreement established under Article 6 of Directive 90/426/EEC, defining the animal health conditions for movements between signatory countries, namely the UK, France and Ireland.* This agreement allows registered horses and equidae for breeding and production accompanied by a valid passport to be moved between those countries without the need for an ITAHC. *Horses for slaughter must be accompanied by a passport and an ITAHC issued by TRACES.

Basically all you need is a suitable passport clearly identifying the horse ( providing horse is not for slaughter )
