I am so sorry to hear this sad news, what a shock for you, I wish you the best.
This is going to sound like a really stupid question - but do I need to send her passport back to Weatherbys or just report that she's deceased? I'd like to keep the passport as a memento if possible.
Notification of Deceased Equines
It is an EU requirement to advise the relevant Passport Issuing Organisation (PIO) when your horse dies and return the passport to them. As per the legislation, the passport will be recorded as "void". If you wish the passport to be returned to you, please indicate this in an accompanying letter, including your full postal return details. Please note that the date of death will need to be provided. Weatherbys' passports for horses that are deceased should be returned to: Weatherbys Stud Book Dept, Sanders Road, Wellingborough, Northants NN8 4BX. There is no charge for this service.
I sent my passport back and it was returned to me as requested.
