Cheltenham Festival 2020. Post-Brexit customs requirements in Ireland mean horses will face physical inspections at Dublin Port and require health certificates and 24-hour pre-notification on the way back. “Be ready – the horses will have to stop in the port for a check,” said Hazel Sheridan, head of import controls at the Department of Agriculture. She warned trainers to “be very, very clear on what the requirements are” for getting their horses back into Ireland by checking the department’s website. Any animals travelling to the UK after April 1 will have to obtain health certificates from the department here and pre-notify UK customs.
