- Initial inspections will be carried out by a Local Authority Inspector accompanied by a veterinary surgeon;
- Repeat inspections and re-licensing will take place every 18 months;
- Veterinary surgeons will accompany Local Authority Inspectors for every alternate inspection (i.e. every 3 years); the Local Authority Inspector will inspect alone on all other occasions;
- Riding Establishments will continue to be inspected and licensed on an annual basis. Any livery provision within these existing riding establishments will be inspected annually at the same time;
- Premises that already fall under existing ‘approved’ inspection schemes (e.g. BHS Livery Yards) are likely to qualify for automatic licensing; however BEVA has proposed that they must have 3 year veterinary inspections, in line with other livery yard requirements; and
- Provision has been made for more frequent veterinary inspections when necessary, on ‘problem’ yards.
