The Events page has been updated on 20 January with the latest dates for DPS Shows and for Affiliated and Associated shows where it has been possible to confirm dates.
If you are aware of any dates for shows where there are Dales classes, especially for Affiliated shows or those in the Stallion Premium Scheme, in and around Durham, Yorkshire and Cumbria, please could you email the Society using the treasurer@dalespony.org email address.
Just a short thank you for those existing members who continue to support the Society, especially those members who already have standing orders for their subscriptions as these make it easier for us to keep our records up to date.
As you know, we now use Dales Pony Services to look after new memberships and renewals. Memberships are due on 1st January. A number of you pay by standing order at different times of the year and it would help us greatly if you could change these to 1st January.
If you are a member and would like to set up a standing order, then please see the Membership page on the website, where there is a link to a Standing Order Mandate Form.
We are trying to reduce costs by using email as much as possible and would again appreciate it if you could give us your email address if you haven’t already done so. If we don’t have your email address it may result in a delay getting information to you.
On receipt of the passport from the issuing organisation, the owner should check that all the details are correct and sign the passport as the original owner. If any of the details are incorrect, the passport should be sent back to the original issuing organisation.
It is a legal requirement for a new owner to update the ownership details on the passport within 30 days of purchasing the equine. Failure to do so is an offence.
Simply writing the new owner’s details into the passport does not constitute a legal change of ownership. The passport must be returned to the original issuer who will update both their database, and the passport itself.
If you are exporting ponies to the EU or transferring them to Northern Ireland, you need to be aware of EU legislation changes coming into force from 21 August 2021.
For more information, please see our Equine ID and Movements page.
