I'm being impatient because I could easily wait til tomorrow to find out by ringing the office but I want to know now (stamps feet!)

I need to name my mare as she's currently officially "unnamed" On her Weatherbys passport.

Do any of you knowledgeable lot know how much it costs?

I may eventually come back to you all for name suggestions too ....
 
Just seen this on YourHorse! It was 4 years ago so may have gone up slightly.

“A horse with no name​

If your horse has never been named on his passport and you want to add an official name then a naming form would need to be completed and the form and passport returned to the PIO.

There’s also often a fee associated with making this change – at Weatherbys this is £55.20, assuming the name addition is not for Thoroughbred racing and/or breeding purposes.

The name would then be registered (if the name is available after the checks have been completed) and the passport would be stamped to show the horse has been named for non-racing and non-breeding purposes.”
 
I named my ‘unnamed’ Weatherbys TB last year for about £50. It was the same form, I think they just told me to write on the top not for racing. Came back stamped on the passport not for racing or breeding.
