BHDTA Horse registration

All animals entered for National Driving Trials must be registered with the BHDTA. A person registering a horse/pony must be a paid up Full, Young or Company member of the BHDTA.

The cost of registration for the 2006 season is £37 per animal for the first five animals registered (plus VAT if the animals are registered by a Company Member). If more than five are registered, the cost for each additional horse/pony will be £32.

To register your horse/pony, please print out the BHDTA Horse Registration Form, which can be downloaded from this website - CLICK HERE.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE:

ALL HORSES must be registered by filling in the registration form and enclosing the animal's passport. This applies to new registrations as well as horses that have been registered before.

The BHDTA stamp will then be incorporated into the passport. This is line with all other BEF Sporting Disciplines working to "one horse one passport" which will contain all relevant information needed, rather than lots of different documents and pieces of paper. DEFRA also require notice of breeding (where known) of all horses/ponies used for competition for the new National Equine Database.

We strongly advise all members to forward their passports by Royal Mail Special Delivery, PLUS include a Special Delivery Post return envelope - obtainable from Post Office. Details available from the Royal Mail website - CLICK HERE

Entry forms for National Driving Trials will be sent out to all Members who have registered horses/ponies.

  FEI Horse and Driver registration

All competitors and horses/ponies taking part in International (FEI) classes at Horse Driving Trials, both abroad and in the UK (e.g. Royal Windsor) require to be registered with the FEI. This registration is done through the BHDTA.

NOTE: FEI Passports are NOT required to compete at CAI-B events in the UK, but the driver and horse(s) must still be registered with the FEI.

The cost of registration is £15 for the driver PLUS £15 for each horse or pony.

To apply for registration, please print out and complete the application form and return it, with your payment, to the BHDTA.
