FIS certificates - caution

For the first time since FIS testing was introduced in 2010, the Society has seen an FIS certificate that has been tampered with.

Please be aware that this can happen.  If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a certificate then please share a copy with the FPS office who will check it out for you.

The Society would like to encourage owners who have had their pony tested to have the result recorded in the passport. We understand that sending in the passport to the office is a bind, but this process can’t be done automatically.  If you’re sending a passport in for some other reason you can just send a copy of the certificate along with it and ask for the info to be recorded. This can also be done for you at the Stallion Show and at the Breed Show.

If you are a new owner, and you’re not sure if your pony has been FIS tested, ask the FPS office to enquire if it has, and, if so, then a duplicate certificate can be obtained for a small fee. The lab will email it direct to you, as the owner. 3 June 2024
