Does anyone actually understand the new rules?
I am in the process of moving and I am taking my horses with me. I emailed and chatted with DEFRA who sent me lots of information, which clearly says that if a TB had a Wetherby passport its not required to have a vet check. British Equestrian Federation also emailed back saying that unless its going to a race the Wetherby passport rule doesn't apply.
DEFRA says a vet check is needed and it will take 10 days to get the forms to my vet (no problem) and them its ok to travel. BEF says I must cross the border within 48 hours of the vet check, but I live on an Island off Scotland so it will take me at least a week to get anywhere near a border. So I ask a vet who deosn't know the horses medical history and doesn't have time to do a blood test to declare them healthy? Not according to DEFRA, my vet does it, so I have to take my vet to the ferry with me?
Anyone actually know how it works? Seems those enforcing it don't, and I don't want to be stuck with horses in a lorry and not have my paperwork correct.
