Information

RSPCA and animal welfare

The RSPCA is the leading animal welfare organisation at Appleby Horse Fair and have 27 officers at the event during peak times, many of which are specialist equine officers.

With very few exceptions horses at or on their way to Appleby must be accompanied by their passport, and new rules introduced from 1 July 2009 mean that all horses born after that date must have a passport and microchip by 31 December in the year in which they are born or 6 months after birth, whichever is the latest.

Pet Animal Sales

The Pet Animals Act 1951, as amended in 1983, prohibits the sale of pets in a public place such as a market. The activity of selling animals as pets from a market or public place is therefore illegal.
