𝗡𝗘𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 - 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘!
Great news from NZEHA! Thanks to a generous initiative from NZ Thoroughbred Racing, 1,600 microchips have been made available to the NZ Equine Health Association for use in non-racing horses. These have been distributed to veterinary clinics around the country through Approved Implanters registered with the NEIT system.

With many members currently in the process of identifying horses for breed registration, now is a great time to take advantage of this opportunity.

Simply ask your local vet whether they are an Approved Implanter - they can microchip your horse and register it on the NEIT system. The microchip itself is provided free of charge, though a consultation or implanting fee may apply, so check with your vet clinic for details. If you already have a vet visit planned for gelding or branding, it's the perfect time to get it done. Follow NZEHA on Facebook:
