I haven't posted before but have been reading the posts for
about a year. I am doing alot more traveling with my horses now that I am
endurance riding and I am worryed about them getting lost or stolen when I
am away from home. I have looked into getting my 2 horses
microchipped. I thought that this was a fairly inexpensive procedure
but when I talked to my wet she said that the chip alone costs them
$75. Also if the horse gets lost or whatever most people don't have
access to a scanner to see if the horse has a chip. Last weekend I had
someone tell me that I should get my horses freeze branded. I had
never even given this a thought. This way a person would be able to
see the identification mark on the horse immediatly. I was curious if
anyone had ever had this done to their horse and if it worked and they were
happy and how expensive it was? I live in Minnesota.
Does anyone have any other ideas for ways to have permenant identification
for the horse if it gets lost or
stolen?
