Registration / Passports
Please note that all foals must now be micro chipped before they can be registered. This must be done by a vet who must attached the microchip bar code to the diagram form and stamp and sign the form.
All equines are reqired under EU law to have a passport. The Eriskay Pony Society is recognised for the purposes of issuing horse passports in accordance with EU regulations.
The Registrar of the Society handles all registrations and other entries for the Stud Book. A person seeking to register a pony must be the owner of the pony.
To comply with government regulations a foal must be registered by 31 December in the year it was born, or by 6 months after it's birth, whichever is later.
The following forms are required to register a foal :
- A foal registration diagram form. Click here to download this form.
- A registration application by breeder form. Click here to download this form. Click here to download the completion notes for this form.
Applications for registration must be accompanied by the appropriate fee, £20 for fillies and £15 for colts. Where the foal is the first progeny of a mare, no registration fee is payable. In this case a DNA test will be required for the mare.
Completed forms should be sent to the Registrar; Susie Walker, 16 Bonaly Wester, Colinton, Edinburgh EH13 0RQ. Tel 0131 441 7785
Susie is also the contact if you wish to transfer ownership, register a prefix, or update any other information.
DNA Testing.
DNA typing is mandatory for all breeding stock. Every mare must have a DNA test carried out when it has its first foal. Licensed stallions will also require DNA tests. All DNA tests will be co-ordinated by the Registrar. DNA tests currently cost £37.50. Please contact Susie if you wish a DNA test kit.
Changes to Passports
Changes to passports will be required in the following circumstances :
- Change of ownership
- Gelding / Stallion Licensing
- Death of the pony.
Unique Equine Life Number - UELN
All ponies who have been issued with an Equine Passport should have a UELN. The UELN is a 16 digit number that identifies the pony and the organisation that issued the passport. The UELN stays with the pony for life and never changes.
Some older Eriskay Pony Society passports were issued before UELNs were in operation. Passports that are sent in to or changes will be checked and if the UELN is missing it will be added at the same time as a change s made. The UELN can also be added at the owners request independent of other changes.
If you do not have a UELN on your passport it can be obtained from the Registrar if required.
Change of Ownership.
On the sale of a pony, the seller shall give the passport to the buyer.
Current law requires the new owner to return the passport to the Eriskay Pony Society within 30 days of acquiring the pony so the details of te new owner can be recorded.
Gelding / Stallion Licensing.
When a pony is gelded or receives a stallion license the passport must be updated. A gelding certificate or the stallion licensing documentation must be sent in with the passport.
Pony Deaths
Current law requires the passport for a deceased pony to be sent the Eriskay Pony Society within 30 days of death. The passport will be amended and retained b the Society unless its return is requested by the owner.
The fee for passport changes is £5 except for notification of death for which there is no charge.
