Identity Record
The document is an identification document only - it is not a breeding document. For further information speak to SHB

Overstamping
In support of the poicy that all horses should only have one passport and the law which came into effect on the 1st January 1998 making it an offence for any horse born after that date to be in the possession of more than one passport, the Society has obtained the necessary permissions to overstamp existing passports issued by other Societies and registration Authorities who are recognised by DEFRA, subject to them including a markings chart completed by a Veterinary Surgeon.
