Welcome to the Fjord National Studbook of Great Britain

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE FJORD HORSE NATIONAL STUDBOOK ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN

REGARDING THE ISSUING OF PASSPORTS TO FJORD HORSES BELONGING TO OWNERS WHO ORIGINALLY APPLIED TO/ RECEIVED PASSPORTS FROM THE FJORD HORSE STUDBOOK SOCIETY also known as THE FJORD HORSE REGISTRY OF SCOTLAND.

We wish to assure all owners affected by the Scottish Government Decision copied below that we will issue passports to all affected Fjord Horses in accordance with Government Regulations. There will be no discrimination and all are welcome to apply. Please e-mail us with your details and those of your Fjord and we will be pleased to send you the appropriate forms as downloadable attachments. If you are unable to receive attachments, we will post the forms to your provided address. Instructions will accompany the forms. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please e-mail or telephone and we will be pleased to assist. Everyone who wishes to obtain a legal passport or have an existing passport from outside of the UK updated, will be accommodated.

It has come to our attention that a number of passports do not tie up with the Fjord Horse they have accompanied. Most of these fjords have been imported by various dealers and because they often bring in several fjords at once, they have almost certainly, in the cases we have uncovered, innocently mixed the passports up. Most people find it difficult to interpret the different languages and therefore it is not wholly surprising this occurs. We are not in any way criticising dealers. Purchasing from a reputable dealer can be very good and safe way to obtain a quality horse but as most fjords look similar to each other with no white markings to distinguish one from another, errors will and do occur.

We are here to help. With our extensive research facilities and wide knowledge base we are certain to be able to help and solve any problems. We have successfully traced fjords with no known lineage as well as uniting fjords with their correct paperwork.

Also, if you decide to register your fjord with us, we can ensure you are recorded with this office and NED as the registered legal owner in the United Kingdom of Great Britain. This could prove invaluable if your fjord was stolen or indeed for many other issues. Food for thought - if your fjord was stolen and you unknowingly had an incorrect passport , it could prove difficult when he/she is recovered if you were unable to match the passport to the actual horse.

We have even been presented with forged passports. These forgeries are not easy to detect and it is only because they were sent in to our office for change of ownership they came to light. We have been able to trace the correct details much to the relief of the worried owners. We have also been presented with fjords who have been issued passports by one of the non breed passport issuing companies in the UK . In most cases these fjords are traceable and should have been accompanied by their original passports if they were imported from overseas.

No doubt the reason you chose the fjord breed is because of it's famous good temperament which is the result of carefully selected bloodlines chosen by knowledgeable breeders through each generation. It is a great shame to deprive the fjord world, and the new owner, of knowledge of that lineage. A fjord with a breed passport is a recognised, registered equine and therefore is likely to be more valuable as a result.

We urge anyone who has acquired a new fjord horse to contact us and we will be happy to guide , advise and check out your passport for you. You will find us knowledgeable and friendly.

We are always ready to help or even have a chat in any matter connected with the Fjord Horse.
