Code of Practice for Markets & Sales involved with the selling of Horses, Ponies and Donkeys
These guidelines have been developed by NEWC and the Livestock Auctioneers Association (LAA) in consultation with the LAA's members. They are provided for auctioneers and all inspectors, from government level through to welfare organisations, who visit horse sales to ensure that high standards are consistently maintained within the industry.
Horse sales, markets and fairs attracting different types of horse (unbroken / broken / ridden) will require different styles of management to ensure welfare and safety.

These guidelines should be read in conjunction with The Welfare of Horses & Ponies in Markets Order 1990 and the Defra Code of Practice - The Welfare of Horses, Ponies and Donkeys at Markets, Sales and Fairs.
