A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice. It holds electronic data that can reliably verify a horse’s identity, whether for sale and competition purposes or during emergencies like natural disasters, when it can be key to returning a lost animal.
And as of Dec. 1, 2017, US Equestrian will require a horse microchip for horses and ponies competing in classes that require United States Hunter Jumper Association horse registration. The microchip verifies the horse’s ID, which allows the horse to compete for points and prize money and to be eligible for certain US Equestrian and USHJA programs and awards. US Equestrian requires microchips to be ISO 11784/11785 compliant. This microchip has a unique 15-digit number that will be assigned only to your horse. Getting the microchip is a quick, easy process, as Dr. Liz Barrett explains.
