This project is arranged by the Department of Breeding, in cooperation with the IFCE (L’Institut Français du Cheval et de l’Équitation) in France, and led by Emilie Goulas from the IFCE.
Over the years, WHIRDEC has become an important forum for the exchange of information where studbooks can find out about and discuss any aspect of legislation concerning the registration and identification of horses. In recent years, it has become particularly important in helping WBFSH member studbooks to navigate new animal health law regulations from the European Union that do not only affect EU members, but also anybody wishing to trade with the EU.
The meetings are regularly attended by studbook managers, representatives from national federations, experts on EU legislation, central database managers and government representatives. Topics of discussion range from information on EU legislation, horse identification and traceability of equidae and germinal products, horse registration in central databases and data exchanges.
For this purpose, we usually meet at least once a year and stay in regular email contact with our members to provide ongoing information about legislative changes, and to provide further feedback on questions raised during our meetings.
