Email to send to Defra in support of NED

Post by TracingEquines »

Suggested wording of email to send to horse.passports@DEFRA.GSI.GOV.UK in response to Defra's decision to close the National Equine Database website
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.

(Add a story about how you have used NED? )

Yours faithfully

The 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.
I have sent the above email to Defra and have added in this paragraph as my own personal comments

As a concerned citizen of this country, a horse and animal lover, I truly believe that DEFRA should continue funding the National Equine Database. The 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.
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

Yours faithfully
