Have just had a major shock! I was working out the cost of getting passports for my herd and it came to £900! Not only would this buy a couple of school ponies but I've yet to hear anyone with a very good reason for doing this...it seems to be because other Europeans want to eat horses...grrrh!
Seriously though we keep our horses for life and have them put down at home when the time comes and then cremated so we are not going to benefit except we may find out about previous owners, although I doubt that will help as even those with records have seldom had owners who cared where they were going..more grrrh..
Sorry for the rant but I can think of many better things to do with £900: fill the barn with hay, buy 20 new rugs..etc. Perhaps I'll try just ignoring it. I wonder what would happen?
