All equines had to have a passport from 28 February 2005, is this correct? What date did it become illegal to sell a horse without a passport? I know the revised law came into effect in 2009.

The Horse Passport Order made it an offence not to have applied for a passport by Feb 2005.
For a passport issuer to issue a passport now for an older horse could be aiding the offence and they should be fully aware the horse most likely has a passport already and be very careful about what they do. The 2005 made it an offence to sell a horse without a passport
and the 2008 EU regulation 504/2008 makes it an offence to keep an animal without an identification document.
