Thanks for reply,I see for cattle and sheep you have to be registered to a society,but I find it unclear about equines,being registered with the stud book ie having the stud book of the animals registered in my name.I have this but the department are looking for 2016 membership.

I think point 1b of the requirements covers your point - Participants must "be a member of a stud book approved by the DAFM for the period of the contract"
It is unfortunate that you forgot to pay your membership fee to the Connemara Pony Society. Maybe your planner can plead a case on your behalf that it was a genuine oversight.
