Chumley & Cassidy have one but *whispers* Norman hasn't got one! He was bred by a friend and will never be sold due to his 'wonky' legs...and his lovely nature
I know he should have one but he doesn't travel anywhere - am I still breaking the law?
I'm sure there are lots of ponies with a home for life, who are never moved, without papers
Unfortunately, yes, you are breaking the law. It does not matter if an animal never leaves it's field or that it will never end up in the food chain, they must still have a passport. ridiculous really.
i must say my old boys has only had he's a month and i' ve have the out to about 4 times before this and he was tetanus and all without having a passport
It was a legal requirement in the UK for all horses to have passports before I left the UK and I certainly couldn't have flown my mare to North America without one....so yes of course the British horse does have a passport.
I didnt get one for my horse as he is very elderly and retired. When the passport thingy came out I thought I wouldnt bother as he will probably croak it soon.
Today he is VERY alive but I will never sell him and he doesnt have jabs.
As soon as I get one, it will be just my luck that he will croak it the next day !!!
