In this case, if it's ontario, I'll walk you through it. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#The OEF membership is now $45, and the EC membership is set at $90 for a Senior Sport License or $70 (I believe) for junior. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You can buy your OEF membership through the 'EC Sport License Form' that you will find on our website. Just click off your provincial membership. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Along with your membership, you'll want to send in an application for your passport, which can also be found on our website. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You must take a clear picture of your horse from the side with no tack on, I'm not sure of the size, but the form will let you know. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You send the picture and the application in with your application for Senior Sport Licence (or Junior, whatever the case may be). #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#The cost for a passport initially is $79.55 and that includes your horse license sticker. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Every year you want your horse to have a validated passport, you'll want to pay the $10 fee (which is included in the $79.55 initially). #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Basically, if you want to do it for 2006, it will be your OEF membership (45) your EC membership (90 if senior 70 if junior) and your one time passport fee (79.55) #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#To show provincially and nationally you require a passport.

And if you ever sell, the passport must be sent into EC with a bill of sale, so the new owner can pay the $79.55 to have it back. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#8000ff size=2#ed_cl#That's so weird. I was about to post a topic about the same thing. Champs getting a passport next spring and i knew the web site but after that im kinda lost :S. I've had to wait so long because Champ is ALWAYS changing colour. So I decided this spring would be best because He has stayed that grey for a while now. *-Fingers Crossed-* i love his colour right now. Dont you also have to get a vet to sign it and such?#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#8000ff size=2#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#8000ff size=2#ed_cl#Dear god.... I need to find my bill of Sale for Champ. If i cant I know claire will probably have one on hand as she runs the rescue where i got champ from. Thats a good question if you dont know your horses Sire/Dam can you still get one?#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Yes you can get one...a horse does not have to be 'registered' in order to get a passport. Any horse can have one.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You send them in a photo of your horse, they send the passport back with photo glued in & a seal on top of it.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And yes, the vet has to sign it after you get the passport back. He must verify that this passport belongs to that horse. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#He will also measure your horse & enter it. This is very very important if you have a pony.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#It is up to the owner to keep the passport up to date. Show Stewards are very picky about this!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Make sure you order your passports early...there is an extra charge to rush them, and you don't want to miss the first shows of the season!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#BUT...do you need to be a full member or just an associate member of EC???#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[graciespook]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#According to the rules, you can compete as an associate member, but if you own the horse you must buy a full membership. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
