» Passporting and Equine Identification Laws

Below you will find various guidelines and other associated documents on the topic of Horse Passports. Since the introduction of the updated Equine Identification (England) Regulations 2018, the responsibilities for yard owners have changed meaning the yard owner now has a responsibility to ensure all horses on the yard hold a passport, and that the passport is retained with the horse at all times. These documents are free to download and have been sourced from leading equestrian companies, charities and associations.

These resources are available free of charge to all, and always will be. All we ask is that if you use any of the documentation, or find the information contained herein useful, please consider adding your yard to LiveryList, and/ or making a secure donation to help cover the work and research that goes into providing these resources:
