Updated figures of passport applications processed on Horse Source – January 9th, 2026

HSI received 5888 applications and issued 4778 completed applications for foals born in 2025.

5878 pedigree applications had their foal kit sent to the applicant, with the remainder issued imminently.

It is important to note that, to date, only 561 foal kits have not been yet returned from breeders to HSI for pedigree applications, which is 10 per cent of all applications. This figure is lower than this time last year and is testament to breeders who continue to work efficiently on their breeding decisions.

Of the 5317 applications who have returned their foal kits to HSI, 4778 have been completed and the passport issued, and 104 are currently undergoing quality control checks, while the remaining 435 applications’ DNA samples are currently with the laboratory for analysis.

Of the 4882 passport applications, where the DNA samples have been returned to HSI from the laboratory, 98 per cent are processed and complete, totalling 4778. The remaining applications pending QC were received during the Christmas break, and the team is working hard to complete them in the coming weeks
