Trading Standards & Horse Passports
news added on 20th May 2010
The following has been distributed to all Riding Clubs, in the hope that everyone can check their passport so they won't get caught out too.
One of my riders had a problem at the RWHS, she was stopped by Trading Standards Officers for a horse passport check, only to be told that hers was illegal – she fortunately received an official caution rather than being prosecuted. Her offence, she had not got a completed Section 9 certificate, Medicinal Treatment concerning "slaughter for human consumption or not" in her passport. Her passport was issued by the Welsh Pony Society pre mandatory passports so the certificate was not included. How many of our members would fall foul of this part of the law? Numerous I suspect.
Here is a simple checklist of the sections that Trading Standards Officers check:
Name of horse is shown together with colour and sex
name, address and signature of current owner
completed certificate in Medicinal Treatment concerning "slaughter for human consumption or not",
plus if any treatments have been given that the vet has completed the section fully
drawing and description of horse signed by a competent authority or vet plus vets stamp
Plus, of course, we want to be able to see the full flu vac history in either the passport or old style flu vac card or a combination of both.
Members' show a success
news added on 8th May 2010
From your Chairman,
I hope that those who attended our first show on Sunday will agree with me that it was a great day.
The going was good and apart from a hiccup with dressage test Nov 24 (2004 or 2010), every thing seemed to run smoothly. We were very lucky with the weather, the sun shone most of the time and the huge rain showers went all round us and we were only caught at the edge of one right at the end of the day.
A big thank you to all the helpers, including those who helped at the end of the day to take down the ropes. It makes Helen’s job of rolling the arenas so much easier. After her long day of helping and competing she was going to get out the roller that evening, I was ready to collapse!
Hope to see lots of you at our next show, Margaret.
**Results for the show are available on the events page**
