Did you know Horses have passports? If you didn't you do now.....

Dealing with an estate and I found a Horse Passport. I knew the deceased kept horses but I never realised that horse passports were a thing. I don't actually know if/where the animal is still alive but given it was born in 1977, it'd be nearly 50 now so unlikely.

It's more of an ID - not a passport for international travel.

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)

I didn't know Tesco had stores in France.

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

Used to from 1993, but sold them on around 2010. At peak they had 92 french stores.

Yeah I thought they used to

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

Even sold horse meat

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.
