DESCRIPTION

Leisure Horse Ireland prides itself in consistently providing an excellent, efficient and cost-effective service to its owners and breeders.

You are obliged by local laws to register as the owner within 30 days of taking possession.

Before completing the transaction, ensure the transponder in the horse matches the passport and all other details in the passport correctly identify the horse. It is illegal to sell a horse on a passport with known errors. If you accept a passport with errors, you are obliged to have it corrected immediately and you will incur considerable costs doing so.

The new owner completes an ownership declaration form and sends off with the passport to us for updating.

Regrettably these days sending anything between UK and EU is not straight forward as there are now customs considerations. The reality is a Horse Passport in itself has no value, only to the equine it is associated with and the equine owner. Therefore, when sending the item you will need to complete a customs declaration (The CN 22 label is supplied by your post office or courier).

Ensure the customs declaration is completed as follows, otherwise the item will be delayed and rejected by customs and eventually returned to you:

• Tick that the package contains “DOCUMENTS”
• With the description “EQUINE IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS ONLY – NO COMMERCIAL VALUE”
• State that is has “ZERO” value and
• A customs TARIC code of 4911990000

It is also advisable to send it to us by registered post.

When you get the passport back, you must also have the passport over stamped by a UK agency of your choosing to have the details uploaded to the UK Central Equine Database (CED).

MORE INFORMATION

Where possible include a copy of:
the bill of sale/invoice to you,
or
copy of the veterinary examination certificate for the animal,
or
just a quick note detailing how you came by the animal and send the completed form, any supporting paperwork and the passport to us.

The previous owners signature / details are not required and it is a common situation that previous owners may not have registered their ownership. The important thing is that you are declaring and registering your ownership now.

Your ownership will be registered on the LHI database and on the Irish Dept of Agriculture Equine database. Some owners then also like to register chip numbers on 3rd party pet identification websites, but this is a matter for individual horse owners and it is not a service LHI offers.

Registered return delivery by DPD couriers is compulsory for UK addresses.

Other Considerations:
• Ensure you are submitting the declaration and passport to the correct agency.
• The passport must accompany this form (you get the same passport back – updated).
• This fully completed declaration form with the correct amount of cleared payment.

Operator / Owner and Equine details will be submitted to the Irish National Equine Database.
You also commit to adhering to the relevant rules & regulations as set forth by
Leisure Horse Ireland, to the use of all details provided for communication purposes and acknowledge that they may be shared with relevant third parties in accordance with applicable legislation, including the sharing of DNA data.
