Implementation of EA National Passport Document

At the 2015 FEI General Assembly, Article 137.2 of the FEI General Regulations was discussed and changes as outlined below will come into effect on the 1st January 2017:

Horses that are being registered with the FEI for the first time will need to be identifiable by the EA National Passport.

This process is being introduced internationally to improve horse identification and traceability at events, during international travel and throughout the horse’s career. It is very important that the document is completed correctly as certain pages will be sent to the FEI who will use this information as part of their review process to allow the horse to be able to compete.

Can’t I just add salt to prevent my horse becoming dehydrated this summer?

Although body fluid regulation is complex and involves enzymes, hormones, and proteins as well as electrolytes, the basic concept revolves around cell hydration. If cells lose too much water, they die. It is therefore, important for the body to have an adequate supply of electrolytes, which means there could be times when supplemental electrolytes should be added to the diet of the horse.

The team at Kentucky Equine Research is here to help!  If you have any queries about your horse’s diet, electrolyte requirements or have problems getting your horse to drink, contact Kentucky Equine Research’s FREE Nutrition Consultation Service on 1800 772 198 or email advice@ker.com
