The New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society is the Breed Society and holders of the New Forest Pony Stud Book. We provide full passports for pure bred and part bred New Forest ponies and also offer our members basic equine passports for animals of unknown age & breeding.
Equine passports are only available from this society to people who are existing registered New Forest pony owners and / or existing members of the NFPB & CS.

Transfer of ownership: Please note: Under the Horse Passport (England) Regulations it is a legal requirement for a new owner to update the ownership details on the passport with the Passport Issuing Organisation that issued the passport within 30 days of purchasing the horse or pony. Failure to do so is an offence and you could be fined by Trading Standards.
Recording a formal Lease or Loan with the Society
The Society should be informed when a formal lease or loan for a registered or partbred New Forest Pony is made between parties by completing the ‘Certificate to cover Lease or Loan of a New Forest Pony’ form.
Once the completed form is lodged with the Society it will be recorded in the Studbook and enables the lessee to enter Society classes, competitions and if applicable, for breeding purposes etc, without needing a counter signature from the owner.
Note: This form is for the Society’s administrative use only in order to record leasing and loan agreements. It is not a legal document and cannot be relied upon in legal proceedings. It does not effect transfer of ownership of the pony, and does not constitute a lease or loan agreement itself, only the record of one being in place.
Copies of the form can be obtained from the office or download here
