They never used to need a passport to appear in the freezer aisle at Tesco.

Cats and Dogs have passports too for international travel, just shows they've been vaccinated (against Rabies mainly)

It's a strange world indeed where the MRLP turn out to be the most sensible choice!

Yes. Our horse has one and having been around horses for 40+ years I’ve seen many more. In fact it is a legal requirement for them to have a passport with them whilst being transported.

I don't think they ever travelled, the old owner was a big supporter of retired horses, ponies, donkeys.... Anything with long legs and a long face really
The modern horse passports also state (amongst many things) whether the horse can be used in the foodchain upon death or not. That's the owners choice, mine were definitely not. But depending on vaccinations and worming, it might only be the animal foodchain they can be used in, not the human.

Jannie and I have owned horses. One of the main reasons the passport is issued is so your horses do not end up in the butchers shop. The passport contains the horses tattoo number, or microchip as it is now. It also contains all the horses inoculations, so it can be seen what is in it. It is also an id document if you want to take it abroad.

Our current one was issued by Weatherby’s since he was a registered racehorse. It is marked as ‘not for human consumption’ but also now ‘not for racing’ as he has been retired from racing (even though he never actually raced).
There is also a legal requirement to update the owner’s details within 30 days of change.
The passports don’t contain a photograph of the horse but do include a written description of a horse’s colour and markings, such as white bits (eg blaze or star on the face, socks on the legs etc) and ‘whorls’ (points on the horse where the coat meets in different directions and sort of sticks up).
However they are all (or should be) microchipped now too, which has done away with the old freeze marking which was common a while back.
