Passports
These passports are totally compliant with EU law and therefore also with DEFRA law. All the pages are laminated and can not be tampered with.
The outline diagram which the vet has to fill in on the template form, and sign and date, is scanned into the passport issuing software exactly as it is produced by the vet together with his written description of the horse. This makes the system very secure and the resulting passports good to look at, practical as they are wipe clean, and virtually impossible to alter…
Naming Your Lusitano
Lusitano horses are named alphabetically by year. If requesting your horses name to be added, please us know which year as there are at least two possibles.
