Probably being a total div about this but need some advice!

My foal is only three weeks old but thought i better find out what i need to do in advance. I need to get her a passport before i can insure her so that is my first job (although i can't get her insured until she is a month old anyway.)

She is out of Brief encounter who is a registered BW and my TB mare, so do i need to register her with a society before i get her a passport or not bother and just get her a passport through Weatherbys ID or something similar?

I have details of all my mares breeding but she isn't registered with any society.

I am sorry if this is a very silly thing to ask but I am just learning as i go along at the minute!

Thanks in advance for any advice!
 
What covering certificate were you given and who is your mare passported with as both have a bearing?

My mare just has a weatherbys ID passport.

I don't think i got a covering certificate. My mare went to an independent stud for her AI and i'm pretty sure when we picked her up we only got her passport back. Does this mean I can't register her? Should I have got a covering certificate as Brief Encounter is a registered WB?

Sorry for all the questions!!
 
I'm no expert, But I no you should have got a covering certificate. I would give the A.I stud center a call. Am sure someone from the forum will give you some stepping stone advise.

Absolutley! When the vets/AI did her did you have her scanned in foal then? You should have got a covering certificate after they returned the AI paperwork and confirmed she was in foal.

If your own vet confirmed her and you didnt complete any return i dont know if you can get the foal registered? Maybe via DNA testing?

Remember it is a case of only ONE passport now so if you get a basic ID one thats all they will ever have!

She was scanned in foal at the same place she had her AI done and by the stud vet there, my vets have had no involvement. I think i need to get in contact with the vets that did the AI.

I am hoping to keep the foal myself to event, is it important that I get her registered? If i had to sell her in the future would it a be a disadvantage if she wasn't registered?
 
No problem but the stud should have given or sent you a covering certificate before the foal was born so that you can register the foal I'm sure. Perhaps ring the stud to check their procedure.
I would think you could register as a part-bred with the stallion's stud book if you only have an ID passport. Otherwise, you could always register with SHBGB but you'd need a CC to be able to have the breeding recognized.

Yes, every foal must be registered and micro chipped whatever you want to do with them before they're six months old I think, certainly before the end of the year they're born so I'd ring the stud asap to check.
 
why don't you email Grafham stud and perhaps they can send you duplicate certificate
I've just done that. They have said that they sent the covering certificate to the AI centre in January but the AI centre are claiming never to have had it!! Luckily Grafham have said they will send me a duplicate!

Thanks to all for your advice.
