standards for health and fitness of horses used in horse and carriage operations.
Reexamination and recertification of animals shall be performed as needed by a veterinarian
with the qualifications described in this section, at not to exceed thirty-calendar-day
intervals. All records of such examinations and certifications shall be maintained
by the licensee and available for review by the appropriate authorities. Prior to
being used in a horse and carriage operation, each horse shall be issued an identifying
number by the licensing official. The licensee shall attach the number to the horse
and keep it visibly displayed during operation. The number shall be used to identify
the horse in all necessary records including records of veterinary examinations. (84-Or-056,
