Answer 1

Microchipping is a common animal ID technique in which a sterile, rice‑grain–sized passive RFID transponder is injected under the skin—typically into the nuchal ligament/crest of the neck on the left side for horses—by a veterinarian. Each chip contains a unique numeric code that is read with an ISO‑compatible handheld scanner; that code is then linked to the horse's details and owner contact information in a national or breed registry. To ID a horse you scan the usual implant sites (and nearby areas if needed) until the reader displays the chip number, then verify that number against the registry records. Microchips provide a permanent, hard‑to‑alter form of identification useful for travel, competition, theft recovery and reunification, but they should be properly implanted, recorded and routinely checked.
