My new mare came over from holland a few years ago with a Dutch passport - cannot understand a word of it! Her old owner also got a new pet ID passport earlier this year. The old passport has all the records of injections etc.
Do I legally need to do anything or is it ok to have a Dutch and a British one?
 
Hi, I don't know the ins and outs of passports so I wouldn't want to advise you incorrectly, but I grew up in holland and can speak Dutch, if you need anything translating pm me and I'll try and help :)
 
Technically you aren't really supposed to have 2 passports but I suppose that depends on if the dutch one falls under a PIO?

I purchased a horse in January.
He came with a PIO basic ID passport that was issued under his stable name and had his vaccination record.

The people selling him to me wanted him to come with a passport that had his breeding details and a competition name on (there was no way of upgrading his current basic id passport), he was DNA typed and an AES passport was issued.

So he in fact came to me with 2 passports. I made some enquiries and firstly had a vet check out both documents and then transfer the original vaccination record to the new passport (this is ok), once this was done I surrendered the old passport to issuing authority.

As I was planning to register him and compete Affiliated and RC he needed a passport that had the name on which he was to be registered with (show name) and a vaccination record. So the above steps were my only option.
 
Her Dutch Passport is the correct one. This also proves she is a fully registered horse

I presume the same name is on each passport. Sometimes people want to change the horse's name and apply for the ID passport with the new name on

Some people also got confused with the passport laws and thought they had to have one issued in England which was incorrect. I would return the Pet ID Passport with a covering letter stating that horse has full registered passport from Holland.

No not the same name, above is exactly what has happened... though i have reverted to using her original name as I prefer it. Will get in touch with Defra I think and ask.
Her passport from Holland was only completed when she was shipped here in 2008, I have nothing of her before that.
 
My friends horse can with 2. A British Hanoverian Horse Society one (with all his breeding and jabs in) and a PetID one.

Apparently they give PetID ones out like "sweeties" (did you ask the old owner why she aplied for it?)

We sent both passports to the BHHS with a covering note and they sorted it out for us and just sent us the one back.
 
my horse has two passports. He came over from Belgium with his passport that shows he is registered with the stud book, its got his pink papers etc in it but it did not have the section about human consumption. when I phoned DEFRA to ask what I should do ( when the whole passport think in the uk came about) they said that I needed to sent it back to Belgium to get them to add it in. But I stated to them that part if the UK passport idea was to have a record of all the horses in the UK, so if I got the Belgian Warmblood society to issue the new section, my horse would still not be recorded as being in the UK, so DEFRA told me to get him a new UK passport so I got him a Sport Horse Passport hence his two passports. I carry both with me just incase:D
