A quote from the British Grooms Association website:
[ QUOTE ]
A new EU Regulation has recently come into force that might affect you as a groom. From 5 January 2008 if you transport horses on journeys over 65km or more in connection with an economic activity then you must hold a certificate of competence issued by an independent body nominated by Defra.
All areas of the horse industry will be affected: Studs, Racing Yards, Point to Point Yards, Eventing; Show Jumping; Dressage; Showing; Horse Transporters; Livery Yards; Riding Schools really any business that involves transporting horses on a commercial basis.
