EQUINE PASSPORTS Did you know that ALL equines (all horses, ponies, donkeys etc.) must have applied for Passports by the end Feb. 2005? Even old ones! Regardless of why they are kept, whether they are only pets or lawnmowers, they must each have a passport issued by an official issuing office. The passport contains all the known information about the equine plus a map of its colour & markings. Registered equines should apply to their relevant stud book society. Those kept merely as pets or which have no registration can apply to the Donkey Breed Society  or to the Veteran Horse & Pony Society . This is now law and owners without correct passports for their ponies or donkeys, risk a fine of £5,000. It is illegal to sell or transfer any equine without one.
