Do you know who your horses sire and dam is? It does not say in Monty's passport who his sire and dam are, is this strange? I would love to find out but have no idea how.

Yup as I have him on loan from his breeder. He is by Banks Fee Daniel (gorgeous RID
) and out of a TB mare called Willow.

Yes mine are all registered with weatherbys or SHB. Is there a breeders name in your passport? Could you contact them? If not then i would think possibly he has been re passported at somestage. If you have no idea who bred him i would say its going to be pretty difficult? Sorry

ditto this. one very very very good thing about owning an exracer horse can never be a dispute about its age. especially the ones born after 1999 (i think) when they introduced compulsory microchipping for TB foals

His breeders name is in there but she did not get the passport so her details are not in there. The man i bought him from got the passport when Monty was 1, it also says he was bred in Wiltshire but i was told the breeder is a couple of hours drive from Wiltshire.

yes I bought Axel from his breeder and was lucky enough to meet both his mum and dad when I went to look at him.
Also some of his brothers and sisters were at the stud too.

It's definitely not unknown, particularly with older horses, and horses with unregistered parents.
I think it's becoming less common in young horses since passporting them was made obligatory, so they're registered at birth by the breeder who does know parentage.
We know most of our horses' parentage because they're registered with various studbooks (New Forest, Weatherbys and SHB(GB)), however we have a couple with 'unknown parentage'- our first pony, who we have no history on prior to us buying her about 12 years ago, and my sister's mare, who's originally 'of Irish extraction' and was imported under a different name (which is listed as an alias on her passport).

I don't know my boy's because he wasn't registered until he was a year old, and I can't find any info on him either which is a little sad as I'd love to know but hey ho, he's still my special boy
