Under National Legislation S.I. 201/2016, the purchaser of a pony is required to register the Transfer of Ownership with the passport-issuing organisation (PIO) that issued the passport (Horse Sport Ireland), within 30 days of purchase, by following these steps:

  1. The Kerry Bog Pony Co-Operative Society requires the seller to sign the Kerry Bog Pony Transfer of Ownership form.
  2. The purchaser co-signs the Kerry Bog Pony Transfer of Ownership form.
  3. The purchaser returns this completed form along with the pony’s passport and the appropriate fee to Horse Sport Ireland.
  4. Horse Sport Ireland carries out the Transfer of Ownership in the Kerry Bog Pony Studbook and the Irish Horse Register and informs the Kerry Bog Pony Co-Operative Society.
  5. When the passport is updated and all other control checks are met, the Kerry Bog Pony Co-Operative Society identification document with an updated zootechnical certificate will be issued by Horse Sport Ireland to the new owner.

The seller is strongly advised to keep a copy of this signed Transfer of Ownership form for their records.
