She once was a polo pony. She once was a fox hunter. She once was a show horse. She was once owned by a small child. She is careful not to step on small toes. She knows not to move quickly and unseat her rider. She stands quietly. She loads on a trailer. She is healthy and sound….AND she is unwanted.
We rescued this horse.
Before she was adopted, we injected her with a microchip. Although the microchip in her neck may not be scanned, it can still save her life. Owners of microchipped horses tend to do the right thing when it comes to rehoming their horses.
Retailers (like Walmart) implemented microchip (RFID) tracking to reduce employee theft:
- Not all products are microchipped in warehouses
- Employees were notified of the of tracking systems
- Employee theft is eliminated
This little bay mare has a microchip. If she were sold to a dealer or auction, she just might surface later and her owner would be help accountable. Given the risks, we find more owners choose to do the right thing.
Accountability = Responsibility
i have an old gelding who is 33+ yrs old he is going to have a good home until he passes over the rainbow bridge , its the only thing to do for a very dear and loved friend
I have 3 horses, which I plan to have micro chipped. Slaughter prevention is very important to me.
