This critically endangered breed requires responsible owner and breeder accountability to maintain an accurate and traceable breed count. Registering a membership, and pony, with DPS UK gives access to Grassroots, a digital resource that allows you to search through an intensive Dales pedigree.
All forms related to registration of horses can be found on the Dales Pony Society website under Quick Links Index. The cost to submit these forms can be found on the fees and tariffs page. Please remember that the USD (US dollar) must be converted to the GBP (British pound), which is ever changing. Please account for this conversion when paying DPS.
Payments sent from North America can be arranged through online payment using BACS, outlined by DPS here. Make sure that you put what the payment is for on the online transaction as well as alerting the DPS Secretary by e-mail that you have sent it, exactly what it is for (your name, pony name etc.) and the amount sent. This really helps limit confusion.
International transfers can be sent via Worldremit and Xe transfer.
Worldremit instructions:
- login or sign up for a WorldRemit account (it takes just 2 minutes to create an account)
- select the country and amount you want to send (United Kingdom)
- Select the receive method (Bank Deposit)
- enter your recipient’s details (name, address, phone number) and bank details (bank name, IBAN/bank account number and SWIFT code)
- Enter your reason for sending (We have used ‘family or friend support’)
- Ensure that your transfer matches the GBP outlined in the fees and tariffs list on the DPS website.
- pay for your transaction.
Transfer fees have been less than $5, but changes with Worldremit
Xe transfer instructions:
- create an account with Xe transfer.
- Add recipient (address, bank account/IBAN number, swift/BIC, and payment information).
- Ensure the currency conversion is correct to match the fees and tariffs list on the DPS website.
- Send your payment.
Mailing registration papers and passports:
1. Be sure everything is signed and dated and you have copies made of all documents
2. Send membership, registration etc. and transfer documents to:
DPS Secretary April Lawn,
Hollybush Farm, Littlebeck,
Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 5HY. UK
3. Many of us have had success using a US to UK tracking and insured small parcel service like SENDLE or PARCEL MONKEY which can be a less costly alternative to Fed Ex.
