Equine
In United Kingdom, in 2004, it became compulsory for horse owners to obtain a passport for each horse they own which clearly records all their markings.
2009 saw the introduction of the horse Passport Regulations in which compulsory microchipping came into force for foals and horses not previously identified.
Other horses that have to be microchipped are thoroughbred horses that race under
the British Horseracing Authority rules, are registered with Weatherby’s or those
horses that are competing abroad.
