Updated figures of passport applications processed on Horse Source – March 14th, 2025

Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) has now issued 5530 foal passports to breeders through the Horse Source online passporting system.

Through the week ending March 7th; from the 5530 completed foal passports, 5111 are pedigree applications. This comes from a total of 6943 applications, which also includes non-pedigree applications. The number of non-pedigree applications completed is now 535.

It is important to note that, to date, 649 foal kits have been returned from breeders to HSI for pedigree applications, with the 5111 pedigree foal passports issued to breeders equating to 89% of pedigree applications having passports issued, where DNA has been provided by customers.

10% of DNA Kits have not been returned to HSI from breeders. Once these are received, they can be sent to the laboratory and the applications processed and completed.

HSI has processed 98% of applications that have DNA results back from the laboratory and the remainder are currently being quality control-checked, ahead of being processed.
