Activate your equine's digital passport and ensure the details held on the Central Equine Database (CED) are up to date and accurate
The CED is the government database that holds the records of all equines in the UK. It is a legal requirement for all equines that live in the UK to be recorded on this database. The CED is managed by Equine Register on behalf of Defra.
If you own or have owned an equine in the UK then you should register with Digital Stable to make sure that your equines are in your name and that you let us know of any equines you no longer own, so that you are not liable for them.
If you look after or loan an equine that you do not own, or are a livery or other yard owner - we have something new coming for you soon!
Yes, its free to register for an account and claim your horses. If you make any changes to your personal or equine data, your passport issuing organisation may charge you to make this change to the CED.
You'll need a passport, driving licence (photocard licence) or identity card to verify your identity. You'll also need your equine paper passport to confirm details are correct with the CED.
Whether your microchip is registered or not on the Central Equine Database you should create a Digital Stable account so you can make sure you are recorded as the registered owner of your equine. You can also check to make sure that you are not liable for equine's that you no longer own.

"A functioning and accurate equine database has the potential to bring huge benefits to owners, sporting bodies, equestrian businesses and, most importantly, to horse health and welfare"
"It is encouraging for us all that our approach on equine ID is indeed being considered by other countries"
Lord Gardiner of Kimble
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
"Equine Register's solutions will be transformational. You can't hold people to account for the way they treat their horses if you can't prove ownership. People need to understand the benefits of the CED and Digital Stable to the everyday horse owner"
"From what I have seen as a potential user, this system would be of huge benefit to the sector and would more than completely fill the government’s regulatory requirements"
