REGISTRATIONS

In order to satisfy the requirements of the 3^rd Country Listing when the UK leaves the EU, the Committee has approved an interpretation of Rule 8 (a) as follows:

• The Committee’s interpretation of Rule 8 (a) is that this rule refers to any pony, without discrimination on account of their country of origin, whose sire and dam are already registered in the main section of the Exmoor Pony Society.  

• The Society has always registered ponies born outside the UK in the studbook and this year will register ponies bred in the Czech Republic, Germany and Sweden.  It is the Committee's intention to include this interpretation into the Rules of the Exmoor Pony Society at its next General Meeting.

PLEASE NOTE NEW LEGISLATION WHICH CAME INTO EFFECT IN OCTOBER 2018 REQUIRES ALL PASSPORT APPLICATIONS TO BE LODGED WITH THE ISSUING BODY NO LATER THAN 30TH NOVEMBER OF EACH YEAR.  PASSPORT APPLICATIONS RECEIVED AFTER 31ST DECEMBER 2019 WILL BE CONSIDERED LATE APPLICATIONS.
