when your horse is gone?

[pegasus1986]

I've still got one from 4 years ago when my old girl was put down.....was never asked for it and never did get round to sending it back- i am useless with paperwork...

 

[rosie fronfelen]

i will not be sending ours back,they've been paid for and they will be reminders of what we had and inevitably lost. when are the passport people going to know when the horse are gone anyway!!( ours will be going to our neighbouring hunt,as their last fitting job.)

That goes to show how much I know about the passports! - I didnt know you had to hand them back!

Sod that, when my little mans time is up, I'll be damn well keeping it

You HAVE to return the passport to the issuing authority. Most will overstamp them and return them to you if you request it. Having said that, it took me over four years to return the passport of my homebred youngster when he died.

When my boy was PTS 5 years ago I contacted the passport issuing authority and they didn't want to know (????). Knacker man said it had nothing to do with him either, so I just kept it...I suspect the whole passport thing is one big mess.

i've still got my old boy passport he was PTS 2 year ago. passport IMO are not worth the paper they are written on. not once was i asked for his, by vet, knackers man etc.

 

[kerribabes]

i think i will be keeping mine as a momento

 

[badgerdog]

I kept mine from my horse who was pts last November. I didn't know you had to hand them in until a few weeks ago. I would probably have just kept it anyway, I thought it was only important if they were going to be entering the food chain.

 

[kellyeaton]

i have kept mine they will not be going no where!x

And thats why there are 50+ year old horses on NED!!!
Nothing will ever be right with the passport system, until all these issues are ironed out (which is probably never going to happen!)

When i got in contact with the passport agency to put my name on my new horses passport, he asked about the two horses that were already in my name, i said they had both died, he said i needed to send them back with the date and reason they both died .... before i could change the name and address on my current horse.

Maybe they ask you to do it when they have nothing better to do??
Ive still got freddys first injection card from 1979, little tiny brown paper thing. Amazing really how its lasted all this time. x
