Accountable Person
You can now view and set the 'Accountable Person' through your My HRNZ account.
As an HRNZ Licence holder, you can add/remove yourself as the accountable person for any horse that is in your care and is 'not in training'.
If there is a horse in your care that is 'not in training', please use the 'Accountable Person' option to assign yourself as the Accountable Person.
If the horse is 'in training', the trainer is automatically set as the Accountable Person and cannot be modified.
An Accountable Person in respect of a horse must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the physical, health, and behavioural needs of the horse are met.
Here are some things to remember when working out who the Accountable Person is:

To Change or access your Accountable Person please Login through your MY HRNZ login and follow these steps.
- Log into your MyHRNZ account (If you do not have one you will need to register through My HRNZ Login)
- Double Click on the Accountable Person
- From here you can see the horses you are the accountable person for
- If you need to add a horse, click the add horse button.
Here are some things to remember when working out who the Accountable Person is:
- Where the horse is in training or on a trainer's premises it's the trainer.
- Where the horse is in the care of a licensed person it's the licensed person.
- If you are the owner of the horse and it's not in training or in the care of a licensed person, then it's the owner.
- If more than one owner, then it's the nominated person at registration or transfer of ownership.
- If the horse is in a trust, then it is all the trustees.
- It is the responsibility of the licensed person to identify themselves as the Accountable Person, where they are caring for the horse.
- You are the owner of the horse and are currently the Accountable Person, but the horse has just moved to a licensed trainers' premises, therefore the trainer now becomes the Accountable Person for this horse.
- You are the owner of the horse and are currently the Accountable Person, you are moving the horse to a new premises, but the person you a moving the horse to is not a license holder, therefore you stay the Accountable Person.
