  • About us

    Equine Register is recognised as a global leader in animal lifetime traceability, registration, identification, biosecurity technology and database solutions.

    We are Defra’s trusted partner in delivering and managing the Central Equine Database (CED) and National ChipChecker on behalf of the UK government and devolved administrations. The CED holds over 1.5 million equine records from the 81 UK passport issuing organisations.

    Equine Register also provides specialist expertise and data tools as part of the Livestock Information Programme (LIP). The LIP database holds 60 million records of cattle, sheep and pigs farmed in the UK and we are contracted to provide the conduit to populate the data entering the system.

What the industry thinks...

  • "A functioning and accurate equine database has the potential to bring huge benefits to owners, sporting bodies, equestrian businesses and, most importantly, to horse health and welfare"

  • "It is encouraging for us all that our approach on equine ID is indeed being considered by other countries"

  • "Equine Register's solutions will be transformational. You can't hold people to account for the way they treat their horses if you can't prove ownership. People need to understand the benefits of the CED and Digital Stable to the everyday horse owner"
