Got my new horse on Thursday and I am over the moon with her and have enjoyed a few days playing around.
But as it is pouring with rain today I thought it was a good time to sort out her passport and now I am more than a little confused.
She was imported over 18 months ago and her passport is issued by the Irish cob society Nederland. It has very little detail in it, and the ID picture page has no marks or colouring on it. I asked a friend (vet) who is Dutch if this is ok, she said yes as they use microchips rather than passports for ID and all her details are stored on that.
Also the person who imported her has never registered her so I will be her first registered keeper.
But my question is, who do I contact to change of owner? will she even be registered as being in this country? (in Scotland if it makes a difference) Do I have to contact the issuing authority and defra?
I hope this makes sense as I am rambling in my own confusion!
Any help would be fantastic x
 
I had this when my horse came from Holland. What I did was contact the UK breed society and they sorted me out a new passport. If it is a UK passport already, you need to send it to whoever issued it, they will charge you loads to put your name on it, and then send it back to you!
 
Oh thank you for answering.
I shall give that a go, want to change her name as well as her Dutch name is awful! x
