Central horse database

From July 1, 2016, there is a central horse database in Sweden. It is a database where all the horses that stay longer than 90 days in Sweden must be registered. The purpose of the database is to gather some information about horses in Sweden in one place. The information can then be used to:

• get a better idea of the number of horses e in Sweden,
• see how horses are moved to and from Sweden,
• search for information about the horses based on, for example, the chip number.

Do I as a horse keeper have to do anything because of the horse database?

The information to the central database is downloaded from the Swedish issuing bodies. Since your horse must be registered with an issuing body in Sweden you do not have to supply the information once more.
