OWNERS of horses and ponies in the Vale of Evesham have just days to get a passport for their animals.
Without a current "passport" horses and ponies cannot be sold, bought, exported, slaughtered for human consumption or moved to attend a competition, show or for breeding.
Anyone convicted is liable to a fine of up £5,000 and a prison sentence of up to three months.
