Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) has issued an update on the number of passport applications processed during the week ending January 24th, through Horse Source.

The number completed foal passports issued is now 4152.

There has been a total of 6641 foal passport applications received through Horse Source, of which 6195 are pedigree applications.

To date, 5072 foal kits have been returned from breeders to HSI for pedigree applications, with the number of pedigree foal passports issued to breeders now 3823, equating to 75% of pedigree applications having passports issued, where DNA has been provided by customers.

The total number of non-pedigree applications completed is now 329.

18% of DNA Kits have not been returned to HSI from breeders. Once these are received, we can send them to the laboratory and process their applications.

HSI has processed 87% of applications that have DNA results back from the laboratory. The remainder are currently being processed.

This week, there was a disruption to the passporting system due to Storm Eowyn, resulting in lower numbers than usual being completed and sent to customers.

The registrations team in HSI continues to work hard on processing outstanding applications and we appreciate the patience of breeders during this period.
