Championships and multi-event competitions collaborating with PORDASI, such as the National Sports Week (PON) and Provincial Sports Week (Porprov).

Generally, this type of passport requires an application period of about seven days. For the application process, the applicant is asked to fill out a form containing horse data and owner data.

Horse data includes the horse's name, distinguishing features or birthmarks, and lineage. Owner data includes the owner's name, place/date of birth, and contact number.

2. FEI Passport (Fédération Équestre Internationale)

As its name suggests, this type of horse passport serves as a requirement for participating in championships organized by the FEI. The process for applying for an FEI Passport is similar to the PORDASI Passport.

However, for the issuance of an FEI Passport, PORDASI sets an additional requirement: every horse must have a chip or identification number implanted in its body as an official marker.

Subsequently, the data in the passport will be sent to the FEI organization to be registered in the database of horses with FEI passports.

3. BRK Passport (Horse Registration Bureau)

Compared to the previous two passports, the BRK Passport has a more complex application process. This is because there is a stage of verifying the lineage based on data recorded in the BRK ledger.

The application process begins at the Provincial Board (Pengprov) Pordasi level with a form detailing the horse's and owner's data, followed by an initial lineage verification at the Pengprov level before being submitted to the Central BRK.

At the Central BRK, the verification stage will also be manually scrutinized based on the horse's lineage recorded in the BRK ledger, with a processing time of about 30 days.

If the supporting data is declared valid, the Central BRK will issue a BRK Certificate for the registered horse.

Based on category, the BRK defines three types of certificates: for Racehorses, Riding Horses, and KP Horses (horses born from irregular pairings).

It should be noted that the application for a BRK Certificate is not based on the horse's age. Thus, the BRK Certificate can also be applied to imported horses entering Indonesia.

1. Certainty of Identity and Lineage

Official registration allows important data, such as the horse's date of birth, lineage, physical characteristics, and ownership, to be neatly recorded. As explained in the Indonesia Stud Book (SBI), issued by PORDASI, racing permits will only be granted to horses that have been named and officially registered.

With such a system, the committee and owners can more easily verify that the competing horse matches the category of age, type, and lineage, thus preventing potential manipulation.

2. Ensuring Fairness and Integrity of the Competition

Officially registering a racehorse is a crucial step to ensuring fair play and maintaining the integrity of every championship. With clear registration and data verification, every racehorse competing on the same track is protected from loopholes for cheating.

In one national event, the committee emphasized that every participant horse must possess a certificate from the Stud Book Indonesia (SBI) or the Horse Registration Bureau (BRK). A transparent registration process ensures that only horses that are truly eligible and comply with regulations can enter the arena, without any "slipping in through the back door."

3. Supporting the Development of the Horse Racing Industry

For broader impact, the racehorse registration process opens up significant opportunities for the development of the horse racing industry. With verified lineage and identity records, breeders and trainers can design more targeted breeding programs, select the best sires and dams, and encourage the improvement of local horse quality.

5. Clear Legality and Ownership

The racehorse registration process is certainly related to property rights. Quoting the Stud Book Indonesia, the legitimate horse owner is the person whose name is recorded in the SBI register.

This means that when a horse is transferred or leased, there is an official record governing all of it. This is highly important to prevent ownership disputes or legal confusion when a racehorse participates in a competition or is bought and sold.
