Unique Equine Life Number
Don Schufro - like other stallions selected to a variety of horse breeding societies - could be one of those with many different registration numbers, unless his UELN is used
The UELN (Universal Equine Life Number) is a project of a common language between all the horse regisering organisations. They all have their own independent system of identification for their horses, which makes the exchange of data quite difficult. The aim is to ensure that each horse can be identified with one UELN all over the world. So when, for example, an organisation needs information about a stallion registered in another country, the UELN could be a number understandable by any organisation. The website http://www.ueln.net is intended for all the official organisations concerned by horse registration, breeding and use. It will present the result of international meetings between the most important international organisations which work to improve the communication between horse registers.

The website contains:

-the history and description of the UELN system (Universal Equine Life Number)

-the international organisations related to this project

-the UELN database with many more than 300 organisations and associations registered (UELN code, address, list of breeds registered)
the presentation of a solution for data exchanges between databases using the internet.
