IRISH racehorse owners and breeders with horses in training in Britain should take note that the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has amended its rules so that all domestically trained racehorses entered to run in Britain must be signed out of the human food chain.

This change came into effect on January 1st this year. From this date, no entry for any domestically trained horse is accepted unless it has been declared as not intended for human consumption via the Weatherbys App and horse’s passport.
