False information on passport

[Sachaspoons]

I have acquired a young gelding who I know was found in a field when he was a yearling. However the livery yard where he was kept have given me a passport (correct chip) with a dam and sire that are definitely not his. (Dam lives in Holland and has done for last 6 years I already have one of her offspring) and sire was owned by them. What can I do about this?

I guess you have two options. One would be to talk to the PIO about the 'mistake' re his breeding and see if it can be altered.

Secondly, as he is a gelding (so no babies for him) you could just leave it. The chip number matches so the passport will do the job of identifying him and recording his vaccines etc...
