These chips have been around for quite awhile. They were first 
introduced in "electronic" badges at least 10 years ago. There is a code 
and a transmitter on the chip. The transmitter gets its power from a 
signal transmitted by the reading devise, comes on and transmitts the 
code which is read.

The advances in these things is so far along that Walmark is going to 
use a variant to track inventory. They will be introduced in charge 
cards in the future to replace the magnetic strip. If there wasn't such 
a replace cost for the readers they would already be in the credit 
cards.  They are cheap and there are a lot of makers. It would actually 
be pretty easy to have a chip with specific format and specified code 
made so you could have multiple horses with the same code - if that was 
your desire. There goes your ID capability.

So as usual there are ways around this system and for someone wanting to 
cheat it might be worth the investment.

Those want to cheat will find a way. I don't see this is any better than 
a good picture ID of your horse you get when your horse gets a number.
