More about this item
The core is Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 on the protection of animals during transport, which mainly applies to transport in connection with an economic activity. For horses the requirements are less detailed than for some farm animals, and a revision of these rules is under discussion at EU level. This is a general overview, not legal advice; national implementation differs, so consult the official EUR-Lex text and your national authority.
