Horse Crime

A modest annual membership fee of £35 provides a feature rich service enabling horse owners to register all their equestrian items including their horse, tack, trailer, quad bikes, in fact anything equestrian, regardless of value together with photographic images in a central and secure place. NECD uniquely recognises and uses all identifying alphanumeric marks (serial numbers, letters, postcodes, chassis numbers, horse passports, freezemarks and microchips) for every equestrian item registered. NECD embraces existing crime prevention marks such as freezemarks and microchips and can also generate unique IDs for items which have no marks such as bridles and saddles.

Pioneering new horse crime prevention practice, members are empowered to swiftly report criminal activity or theft to the equestrian community by generating and receiving criminal activity alerts using SMS and email. ‘Be on the lookout’ (BOLO) alerts for loose horses, dogs and other information of local or national importance ensure equestrians are kept well informed. For the first time, all UK police forces can track and recover stolen NECD items nationwide. NECD meets police requirements for the hand-over of recovered property by providing a printable receipt for all items registered. NECD is also able to track complete item ownership history from its date of registration making it the first DVLA of equestrian estate.
