Age confusion ???!!!

Ok , so i have an apparently 5 year old pony that is almost 6 therefore being almost 6 we are allowed to compete in the pony club etc . I bought him when he was 4 last year so ?

I went to pc camp on him and he is a little scared of fillers but it is probably more me than him ! Confidence issues ....

Anyway i looked at his pedigree base thingy as rosswood boyle pat his registered name it says he was born in 2011 ! Does that mean he is 4 ? And i bought a colt at 3 ???? He was hunted in ireland for 2 seasons apparently and we got him from a good dealer who we are friends with he has jumped 1m25 with me and has a lovely established canter and lovely walk and trot ! I love him ! Any advice if he is 4 , then i cannot compete in pony club ! 😬

Is he chipped? Does his chip match with his passport? If born in 2011 that does make him 4 (and my maths isn't too bad! )

Yes, my 4 yo was born in 2011. What month though? He may be nearly 5.

He was born in May ☺️

Then he is four and will be 5 2016. How has he got a reg name and passport with no chip though?

I thought they had to be micro chipped at passport stage?

Can you see how many baby teeth he has left? That would help

Ha, if he came from Ireland he more than likely was hunting at under 4 years old

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Actually, have you got a passport for him then?

 

[shortstuff99]

Are you sure you got the correct horse? What does his passport say? I wouldn't take an Internet site as gospel tbh.

If born 2011 then your pony is currently 4.
For the interpretation of competing/PC he will become 5 from 1st Jan 2016 (even if he wasn't born until May).

If you have a proper passport for him then he really should already have a microchip. It would be worth getting the vet to scan him for one and checking it matches records when next out.

You are risking a hefty fine for a passport with without a chip, even worse as I suspect, no passport at all.
