(Ground levy applies). Groups of riders with their horses are welcome. All visiting horses must have valid passports. A ground levy applies, R200 per horse.
One of the purposes of horse passports is to record all medicines that each horse receives. Therefore, the passport must be available whenever a vet treats your horse so they can record the medicines given.
