Trying to find out history for a horse ..

[Montyforever]

Nothings know about his past at all!
He was bought from a dealer a few years ago and hes 9 years old.
He's around 17hh and has a few white hairs on one of his hinds and a little star.
Hes a irish sports horse and was brought over from ireland.
He shakes his head alot when ridden and has a scar on his face which aparently he did running into a wall.
Nothings known about his parents, where he was bred ect.
His owner would love to find out some more about his past

This is going to be a very difficult one for you to trace. The obvious place to start is with the dealer to see if they have any information.

Are there any past owner details on his passport? Is he micro-chipped?

I traced my chaps previous owners by calling the vet from his passport who'd stamped his annual vaccination. I am aware of the data protection act so the vet I called would obviously not give me their clients name and telephone number but I asked nicely if they would call their client and leave a message to say the new owner was after some history. This worked successfully but I wish I hadn't found out what I did now!

Start with the dealer....find out what they know, where he was bought in Ireland,which sales/yards he came through....
What does it say on his passport..does he have one?

....il warn you now an unregistered Irish horse can be very very difficult to trace unless they were competing over here under a show name that would be on the passport...google it

Asking the vet that did the vacc's is a good idea alright!
