On the horse racing industry, I have a question on traceability and responsibility for horses that are found abandoned. Who is responsible if a racehorse that has been fitted with a microchip is found abandoned? For example, if a racehorse is owned by a syndicate but being cared for by a keeper who finds it has been abandoned, where does the buck stop or who is responsible for that horse if it is found to be abandoned?
