To all contacts with 1 or more Thoroughbreds in their life,

November 2023 is a passport amnesty for Thoroughbreds!!

Yes, it will be FREE to update your passport with Weatherbys Ltd during the month of November. You simply need to complete GB’s first ever Thoroughbred Census to waiver the fee. Obviously, updating a horse’s passport with ownership details is a legal requirement but we can all put it on the ‘to do list’ for a while………so, make the most of November, it’s FREE 🐎🐎🐎

- If your passport details are correct then well done, but please do still complete the Census.
- If you have a yard full of Thoroughbreds and don’t have the time to submit an online entry for each horse, please get in touch as we can help: [email protected]

Back in March 2020 the Animal Health Trust (AHT) announced it was facing imminent closure. Since then the AHT have been working to save the unique work undertaken at the Trust.

Their Trustees have concluded that if the AHT is to continue, the only viable option is to revert to their core purpose of providing world-renowned veterinary and scientific research.

To this end, the AHT have sadly advised that they are proposing a major reorganisation of the charity which involves starting a consultation process with a view to closing their two referral practices: small animals and equine.
