How Does It Work?

A microchip system consists of 2 parts: a microchip and a scanning devise. There is a tiny computer chip encased in a smooth & durable biocompatible glass.

The Chip has an unique identification ICAR 15 digit code inside, and is small enough to fit into a hypodermic needle. The chip is quickly and easily injected into the nuchal ligament, where it stays for the life of the animal. This unique number cannot be altered or removed.

What is a Microchip:

• A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit (transponder) placed under the skin.
• The chips are similar in size to a large grain of uncooked rice and are based on a passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
• The chip contains a unique code (identification number)
• The chip is made of an inert material which means it has no power source and won’t be rejected by your horse’s body.
• To retrieve your horse’s identification number, a scanner (wand) is passed over their body, this sends out a magnetic field, which picks up the 15 digit code imprinted on the chip.
• This code shows up automatically on the scanner’s screen; the owner can be identified from this code.

Why should I Chip:

• Provide your horse with a lifetime microchip number for a minimal cost.
• The tiny chip provides a lifetime permanent identification number for your horse.
• This number is unique in the world, cannot be altered, and eliminates doubt.
•  Horse owners use it for many different reasons, such as:
  •  Proof of ownership,
  •  Theft protection and recovery,
  •  Health certificates,
  •  Medical records,
  •  Event entries,
  •  Travel,
  •  Registry ID,
  •  Sales documents
  •  Insurance.
