Important notice for Point-to-Point Handlers

Important notice for point-to-point handlers wishing to renew their handlers permit for the 2023/24 point-to-point season.

In order to renew your Point to Point Handlers Permit for the forthcoming 2023/24 Point to Point Season, it will be necessary for you to supply an Equine Premises Number for the stables at which horses under your care are located on the annual renewal form which will be sent to you in the coming weeks. Point to Point Handlers with an address in Northern Ireland are exempt from this requirement.

For those Point to Point Handlers who do not currently possess an Equine Premises Number, I would recommend that you download the form here as soon as possible and send it to your local regional office of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine as it may take a number of weeks for you to receive an Equine Premises Number.

Please note it will not be possible to renew your Point to Point Handlers Permit for the 2023/24 Point to Point Season without suppling your Equine Premises Number.
