TRAVELLING horses across borders has been “fraught with new challenges” since Brexit, but it is hoped change will come.
On 17 March the Road Haulage Association (RHA) hosted a webinar, Haulier “Get Ready”: International Horse Transport, during which industry experts discussed issues experienced since Brexit, and reminded those travelling horses of the new extensive paperwork requirements and rules. Included in the requirements are export health certificates, customs declaration forms, animal transport authorisation, and vehicle approval certificates, as previously reported by H&H.
RHA head of international transport John Lucy said the haulage industry has been “turned on its head”.
“It certainly appears the transport of horses across our border has been fraught with the new challenges,” he said, adding that the recent Government transport consultation on animal welfare, (news, 17 December 2020) makes now a good time to raise concerns following Brexit.
“It’s timely that we get some of these issues out there, and use this as a platform to send the views of the horse transport industry into the Government.”
