HORSE owners were given the chance to get passports for their animals while they waited on Saturday.
The Cleveland Bay Horse Society (CBHS) held the one-off event at York Auction Centre.
Owners paid £20 to have ID charts completed and passports issued.
From Monday, February 28, it will be an offence to use a horse for competing or breeding, move a horse out of the UK or move it on to the premises of a new keeper without a passport.
Nigel Cowgill, from the society, said: "The passports have been a great source of support for the CBHS, with all monies received going into breed programmes to support this endangered breed, which is high on the Rare Breed Survival Trust's critical list."
