World Horse Welfare Christmas Message

Thanks for posting that, Cuffey. They have my undying respect for what they do. I have two shets on loan from them, wish I could take on more, but I have too many 4 legged friends, and 2 legged family members to feed as it is!
 
Some important points raised particularly the import of low value animals which could bring disease to our UK horse population.
These low value animals are not ''registered'' but are identified, only registered horses should travel freely under TPA

The BEVA and other organisations are calling for tightening of the Tripartite Agreement and DEFRA has put it under review in light of the EIA outbreak

FVE Transport conference

''legally the definition of a “Registered Horse” is
clear, they were unanimous that in practice “registered “ is being confused
with “identified”, and that this is presenting a significant threat to equine
welfare and biosecurity, and undermining the tripartite agreement''
