Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed)

Dr. Sonja Egan:

Absolutely. In terms of some of the applications we have seen this year, that has not been reflected. Of course, there are cases where a breeder has opted to go for the colloquially known white book the Deputy mentioned but there are other issuers in the market who issue these identification documents. Breeding can still be recorded on an identification document if a breeder so wishes, but obviously the encouragement would be to remain with the stud book passport to ensure this pedigree is recorded and the animal is entered in a stud book.
