SPSS PASSPORTS

SPSS will issue passports to the offspring of any SPSS graded pony.  See below for information on how to get a passport for your foal.

 

Change of Ownership

 

When a pony holding ANY type of SPSS passport changes ownership, the passport must be returned to the SPSS Head Office immediately to have the new owner's details recorded.  Either the Transfer of Ownership Form or a letter, receipt or bill of sale that is signed by the last registered owner(s) and gives the new owner's name and address should be sent with the passport as should the change of ownership fee.

 

Change of Ownership Fee (2009) - £15

How do I get a passport for my foal?

 

Download and complete the Youngstock Registration Form; ensure that your vet takes a DNA sample (a few hairs from mane or tail put into a small plastic bag with the vet’s stamp or signature and showing the foal’s name) and that he/she completes the ID diagram on page 4 of the Registration Form (click here to download a Registration Form).  It is now also mandatory for all foals to be microchipped which should be done at the same veterinary visit and the information recorded on page 4.  A checklist has been provided below to assist with your application.

 

Items required for registration of foals

 

  1. The original Covering Certificate given to you by the stallion owner.  Please ensure that you have completed the declaration of birth at the bottom of the page.  (The foal’s ID/Markings should be recorded on the Youngstock Registration form page 4)

  2. A completed SPSS Youngstock Registration Form (page 4 for veterinary use)

  3. A DNA hair sample in a plastic bag showing your vet’s signature and the foal’s name.

  4. Microchip barcode and number – PLEASE NOTE that we need one unused sticker for the foal’s passport.  (Most providers give you several of these with the microchip)

  5. A completed SPSS Membership Form

  6. If your foal has ONLY ONE SPSS GRADED PARENT we shall need the following  information from the UNGRADED dam or sire’s passport.  A photocopy of the first page of the passport giving his/her life number, details and passport issuer;  A photocopy of his/her pedigree page;  A photocopy of any grading information he/she has undergone with another society.

  7. The appropriate fee made payable to SPSS.  Foal registration and passport £45 (if both parents are SPSS graded £35);  Annual Membership £25; DNA storage £15.

 

A passport will then be issued by Head Office.  Please note that if you wish to use a prefix/suffix then you need to register it with the Central Prefix Register via SPSS Head Office (see here for more details) BEFORE your passport can be issued.
