KWPN change of ownership and is it possible to change his name on it?

[polyphonic]

So I need to get Lewis' passport ownership changed into my name and wondered if I need to send it off to a KWPN office here in the UK and is it possible to change his name on there for when he does start competing, as Bingley isn't very appealing and I have a fab competition name for him!

Think you if you really can be bothered it has to go back to Holland and not sure you can change the name tbh. Not sure what the address is or the procedure as not done it for my Dutch bred horse.

BUGGER!! Would like to get it changed but seems such a hassle to send it back over there!
When reg with BSJA does it need to go on passport name?

we're europeans now n'est pas? I find the post works just as well to Holland as to London, indeed closer than Scotland - well, unless you're in Scotland to begin with, I'm in the south!!

Good luck.

If you do decide to send it back to Holland ( I haven't bothered to be honest) then make sure you take a copy of it, just in case.

The change of name is not permitted under E.U. regulations but prefixes or suffixes can be added. the FEI charges a lot of money for these commercial prefixes. The original name of a horse must remain on its passport but it can be in brackets this can occur where a horse has been competed historically and is well known under a competition name before this legislation was enacted. Only the studbook of origin can change the ownership details in a passport as in many E.U. countries there are civil laws on ownership relating to horses that do not exist in the UK. The French allow change of ownership on the internet but with other EU countries the danger of loss of the passport in the post is a problem. Some countries do not enforce the rule of 30 days for change of ownership to be recorded the UK is one of those.

Think with KWPN you can change the name up until the horse is 4, but it must still start with a B as this means the horse was born in 2006.
I would contact them via the website to find out how
