Hilltopshot Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi there from a newbie,Even though I've got 20+ years of horse ownership in the UK under my belt, I'm feeling distinctly like a fish out of water right now France Is a pre purchase vetting certificate for a horse an official document like the five stage vetting in the UK where the horse's identifying marks are shown and which also bears the date, place of vetting, horse owner's name and name and address of the officiating vet ? We have been told by the intermediary who found our pony for us (and whose friend organised the vetting) that the photocopied sheet which does not have anything to identify the animal being vetted, let alone anything to denote who the vet was is the official vetting certificate. Can anybody please help me? Thanks in anticipation Gail (who still has LOTS more questions like this to ask, unfortunately ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardbk Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 sounds like a con to me. first there is no similar scheme as in the UK. however, all horses should now have id papers and any proper check by a vet(you organise yourself) should be in relation to these papers.regsrichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
