      If you look after or loan an equine that you do not own, or are a livery or other yard owner - we have something new coming for you soon!

    • Yes, its free to register for an account and claim your horses. If you make any changes to your personal or equine data, your passport issuing organisation may charge you to make this change to the CED.
