Re: RC: Microchipped horses

[Teddy Lancaster <Teddy@runningbear.com>]

I just bought the sign for $25.00. I have had a dozen or more horses. Either I
live in a low risk for theft area, or it works...I've had the sign (metal, for
which I paid $15.00) for almost ten years..fastened right to my barn gate.
