Dear Jim Paice and Caroline Spelman,
I am deeply concerned regarding DEFRA’s decision to cease funding the National Equine Database. What measures does DEFRA have to uphold the law on equine passports, if there is no central database?
The decision to cease funding this scheme, while hundreds of equine’s in this country are at their most vulnerable time in decades, will only increase cases of abandonment and neglect.
The horse passport was introduced by the UK government and should therefore by administered by it or by an accredited organisation.
As a concerned citizen of this country, a horse and animal lover, I demand that DEFRA continue funding the National Equine Database.

Yours faithfully

Re: Email to send to Defra in support of NED
I have sent the above email to Defra and have added in this paragraph as my own personal commentsThe National Equine Database has been an absolute godsend to the horse community over the years that it has been running.
Owners have been able to check their horse’s details are correct and flag them as stolen or missing on loan when required.
I have been able to help people find out breeding history, located correct freezemark numbers, found out competition records and previous names that horses may have been known as.
Please reconsider your decision on this matter.
Re: Email to send to Defra in support of NED - I HAVE EMAILED
Jut thought I would post a copy of the email I sent in support. Sorry I copied your emails but they were so good I just fudged them together and added a bit of my own. Lets hope we can stop this happening

From a personal point of view I have been able to find out breeding history, found out competition records and previous names that horses may have been known as and generally checked up on horses before I have bought them.
I would ask you urgently to please reconsider your decision on this matter
