IMPORTANT NOTICE ! UPDATE TO MICROCHIP RULES FROM OCTOBER 2020
IMPORTANT NOTICE - FOR ALL HORSE OWNERS
The Government have released the Equine Identification (England) Regulations 2018 which come into force on 1 October 2018, and there are a number of key changes which will affect YOU as a horse owner and/or breeder. The key points to note are as follows:
- • Introduction of Fixed Penalties notices – yes, a monetary fine for Non-Compliance with the regulations without the necessity of going through the courts which can be imposed retrospectively. Remember with the introduction of the Central Equine database the authorities can now simply look up all the details on line!!
- • Change of ownership must be reported within 30 days, with the passport sent to the Registrar for the database to be updated accordingly.
- • Breeders must report a new foal registration by 30 November in the year of its birth or within 6 months of the birth.
- • All horses are required to be microchipped, this now applies to horses born before 2009
- • It is now an offence to keep a horse, which is not registered in accordance with the Regulation. This means that ignorance of a keeper is no longer an acceptable excuse, and the keeper can potentially be prosecuted, separately to the owner.
- • A new offence has also been created for knowingly withholding a passport
FOAL REGISTRATIONS & CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
Due to the new EU Rules regarding Passports as from 1st January 2016 there is a new ID and Registration form which must be completed by your vet when the Microchip is applied. Please send all registrations and change of ownership applications to the new Registrar Mr Paul Janaway. Click here for address Please DO NOT USE PO Box number 483 as this has been closed.
