Online horse record

Agreements around your horse, never unclear again.

We bring ownership, important documents, agreements, and every trusted person around your horse together in one clear record.

  • The first online horse record
  • Built as a lifelong record
  • Horse and record travel together

Whose horse is this? Finally, clarity.

In Own My Horse you record the complete administration around your horse, from veterinary report to ownership file. That way you can always show that you are the owner of your horse, and prevent legal disputes when buying or selling.

What is Own My Horse?

Own My Horse is the central online place that ends a significant problem in the equestrian world: uncertainty about ownership. Whose horse is this? Today that is nowhere consistently registered. The passport is not proof of ownership, and anyone can request it. Own My Horse offers an online place where ownership is recorded clearly.

“90 percent of the disputes I see arise from uncertainty about the ownership and the administration of the horse”
Marjolein van Zundert Lawyer specializing in Dutch equine law

How does it work?

In the secure digital database of Own My Horse you can record every detail and agreement, including photographs and videos. Think of the veterinary file, the insurance papers, and the pedigree.

Selling your horse? You can show a prospective buyer the details with a QR code. Does the sale go ahead? Then you can transfer the horse and the file with a registration code and proof of identity. That keeps the transfer of ownership safe and transparent. It also puts you in a stronger position in a consumer-sale dispute, because the health of the horse at the moment of sale is clear to you and to the buyer.

  • Ownership of your horse recorded clearly.
  • The complete administration of your horse in one place, from veterinary file to insurance details.

Marjolein van Zundert

Lawyer specializing in Dutch equine law

Marjolein could ride before she could walk. She grew up among horses: she rode, cared for them, and competed. Today she still rides her horse Calimero daily to unwind. Horses run through her work as well. She is a lawyer, and specialized in equine law ten years ago. In the years that followed she saw disputes about proof of ownership and consumer sales arise again and again.

“I thought: surely this can be solved better?”

Rick heard Marjolein’s stories and thought: this can certainly be solved much better. The IT specialist, whose expertise covers building, maintaining, and securing systems, likes nothing more than making watertight solutions. He is an animal lover too. He worked on a farm for years, often joined friends at riding competitions, and still enjoys the connection with animals.

Our promise

One record, so nothing stays open to interpretation.

We promise a reliable online horse record, so agreements around the horse are never unclear again.

Problem

Ownership turns into conflict

Horse owners, private and professional, run the risk of conflict with, or about, their horse.

Solution

Everything in one clear record

Ownership, important documents, agreements, and every trusted person around your horse, together in one place.

Result

Conflict prevented, not settled

One central, reliable, easy-to-use place that prevents conflict around your horse before it starts.

Built by the two disciplines this problem needs

  • A horse owner and equine lawyer, who knows where ownership disputes really begin
  • An IT specialist, experienced in building, maintaining, and securing the record itself

Everything that should stay together

A single record, shaped around the life of your horse.

Own My Horse turns scattered files and important handovers into one traceable record that lasts a horse’s lifetime.

Identity

Register the right horse

Record UELN, passport, microchip, and essential profile details in one permanent identity.

Documents

Keep the dossier together

Store veterinary reports, X-rays, vaccinations, pedigree papers, insurance, and agreements privately.

Ownership

Transfer with clarity

The seller starts the transfer, the buyer reviews and accepts, and the ownership record moves forward.

People

Reflect real ownership

Add co-owners or authorize an agent with deliberate permissions and owner approval.

Care

Remember what comes next

Plan veterinarian, farrier, dental, vaccination, training, transport, and other appointments.

Protection

Control who sees what

From first record to next owner

Complex moments, made deliberate.

Each step is designed to keep identity and ownership understandable to the people involved.

01

Create the identity

Enter the horse’s details exactly as they appear in its passport, including the UELN and passport number.

02

Build the lifelong record

Add documents, ownership parties, photographs, and appointments as the horse’s story develops.

03

Invite the buyer, choose any documents to share, and complete the handover only after acceptance.

What it gives you back

Less hassle, more time, and above all: calm and certainty.

Ambiguity costs time and creates arguments. When ownership, documents, agreements, and people live in one record, there is simply less to dispute, and the record stays with the horse when it moves on to a new owner.

  • Less hassle and stress, because nothing is left ambiguous
  • Time back, because everything is in one place
  • Calm and certainty about who is responsible for what
  • A lifelong record that travels with the horse to its next owner

Questions, answered clearly

Before you create your first record.

What can I do with Ownmyhorse?

Ownmyhorse brings the practical information around a horse into one private digital record. You can:

  1. Record horse identity and ownership information.
  2. Keep important documents and photographs together.
  3. Plan appointments and maintain an ongoing history.
  4. Give co-owners or authorized people deliberate access.
  5. Prepare an ownership transfer that the buyer reviews and accepts.

Ownmyhorse supports these workflows but does not replace an official horse passport or statutory registration.

How do I create a horse record?

Start with the information already available in the passport:

  1. Create and verify your private or business account.
  2. Register the horse by carefully entering its UELN, passport details, and profile information.
  3. Store the Ownmyhorse registration code securely; treat it as a sensitive product credential.
  4. Add relevant documents, photographs, appointments, owners, and authorized people.
Which steps keep a horse record useful over time?

Treat the record as an ongoing history rather than a one-time form:

  1. Add new documents and appointment information when something changes.
  2. Keep identity and ownership details aligned with the authoritative records you hold.
  3. Review who has access and remove an authorization when that person’s role ends.
  4. Check the record before a sale, handover, or important appointment so outdated information can be corrected.
How do I organize and share horse documents?

Upload documents to the relevant horse record so they remain connected to that horse’s history. Sharing is deliberate:

  1. Choose the eligible document you need to share.
  2. Check who should receive access and why.
  3. Use the appropriate controlled workflow, such as read-only sharing during a pending transfer.
  4. Review or remove access when it is no longer needed.

Documents are not automatically made public or all shared together. Avoid sending sensitive horse documents through ordinary email.

How do co-owners and authorized people work?

The horse record can represent private or business legal owners, ownership shares, co-owners, and authorized agents. Give each person only the role and permissions they need. Sensitive actions can require approval from the appropriate owners, and access should be removed when a person’s responsibility ends.

Which steps are involved in transferring ownership?

A transfer is completed by both seller and buyer:

  1. The seller starts the transfer using the buyer’s email address, selects any eligible read-only documents, and adds an agreement when appropriate.
  2. The buyer opens or creates an account with that email address, reviews the horse identity and shared material, and accepts or declines.
  3. After acceptance and any required owner approvals or fee, the ownership history advances and the new owner receives a new registration code.

A pending transfer can be cancelled by the seller. A completed ownership change remains part of the record’s history.

How does Ownmyhorse relate to official passports and registrations?

Ownmyhorse is a private digital record for identity, documents, appointments, and ownership workflows. It does not replace a horse passport, studbook registration, government register, or another statutory obligation. Keep those official records current and use their information carefully when maintaining the Ownmyhorse record.

Where can I find additional information or ask for help?

Start with the Product, How it works, and Security pages on this website. For an account question or a problem not answered there, email info@ownmyhorse.nl. In your first message, do not send passwords, full registration codes, payment details, personal data, or horse and veterinary documents.

Can I register several horses at once?

Yes. You can register several horses under one account, each with its own record.

How many horses your plan covers is shown in the application before you confirm anything. There are plans for private owners and plans for professional stables, breeders, and traders.

Is Own My Horse useful if I have only one horse that stays with me?

Yes. Even without a sale, one record keeps your veterinary documents, insurance papers, pedigree details, and agreements together instead of scattered across folders, email, and phones.

You can give a veterinarian, carer, or co-owner access to exactly what they need. And if something does change later, the history is already there.

How is my horse's record secured?

Your record is private. It is visible to you and to the people you give access to, and it is not part of a public directory.

Connections are encrypted, documents sit in private storage, shared document links are short-lived, and significant actions are kept in an auditable history. You can switch on two-step verification yourself.

What is the Own My Horse registration code?

The registration code belongs to your horse's record and is used to confirm a transfer of ownership.

Together with proof of identity, it makes sure a record moves only to the person actually buying the horse. Share it no more widely than necessary.

Does Own My Horse work if I sell horses abroad?

Yes. The record is not tied to a country. The buyer creates an account and accepts the transfer, wherever they live.

Do bear in mind that statutory notifications and registrations differ per country. Own My Horse is a private digital record and does not replace those obligations.

Can payment for the horse be made through your platform?

No. Own My Horse records ownership, documents, and agreements; it is not a payment service. Buyer and seller arrange the purchase price between themselves.

What the platform does record is what was agreed and what was handed over, with the date attached.

What if I want to cancel Own My Horse?

You manage your subscription in the application. The current terms, including how and when you can cancel, are shown there before you confirm a choice.

This website deliberately does not state terms that can change. Our privacy policy explains what happens to your data.

If I sell the horse, what happens to my subscription that is already paid?

On a transfer of ownership the horse and its record move to the buyer, once the buyer has accepted the transfer.

What happens to a running, already paid subscription is set out in the current terms in the application.

What if the buyer does not want to take over the subscription?

Transferring the horse and the record is separate from your own subscription. The buyer needs their own account to receive the record.

Which plan that involves is shown to the buyer in the application before they confirm anything.

Can I get legal help inside the platform?

Own My Horse is not a law firm and does not give individual legal advice.

What the platform does is keep your administration in order, so you can show what was agreed and what was handed over. For a specific case, consult a lawyer specializing in equine law.

I have a consumer-sale dispute, what now?

We cannot mediate in an individual dispute and we do not give legal advice.

A complete record does help: the health details, documents, and agreements as they stood at the moment of sale are visible and dated for both parties. For your legal position, consult a lawyer specializing in equine law in the country where the sale was concluded.
