HSI has received 5987 applications and issued 5545 completed applications for foals born in 2025.
5984 pedigree applications have had their foal kit sent to the applicant, with the remainder issued imminently.
It is important to note that, to date, only 310 foal kits have not been yet returned from breeders to HSI for pedigree applications, which is 5 per cent of all applications.
This figure is a testament to breeders who continue to work efficiently on their breeding decisions.
Of the 5674 applications who have returned their foal kits to HSI, 5545 have been completed and the passport issued, and 47 are currently undergoing quality control checks, while the remaining 82 applications’ DNA samples are currently with the laboratory for analysis.
Of the 5592 passport applications, where the DNA samples have been returned to HSI from the laboratory, 99 per cent are processed and complete, totalling 5545.
The remaining applications are pending QC checks before being completed, and the team is working hard to complete them over the coming weeks.
