Bulk Sharing of Information

This resource is aimed at assisting organisations, such as breed societies, that collect registrations for horses to ensure they have a clear understanding of what information is required and how it needs to be formatted to manage it for bulk uploads into the system. The purpose of bulk data uploads is to assist horse owners by removing the need to register horses in multiple systems and to ensure a seamless transfer with accurate information.
