There have been instances where a micro-chip implant has moved and attempts at scanning fails.

​

If this happens you will need to get a new micro-chip implanted by your vet.

​

Ensure your vet completes a DNA & Microchip Form which includes veterinary certification, with the new micro-chip scan bar, clearly stating that the micro-chip could not be located and a new one was implanted.  The vet must also take a hair sample for DNA verification.

​

Unfortunately the microchip is how horses are identified, if this ability is lost the only way to determine the correct identify is by DNA testing.  This is a mandatory 'KFPS' requirement for which the AFHS has no control.

 

This safe check is in place to protect the rightful owner and identify of the horse.

​

Then please send your sample to the AFHS Registrar who will process that change and ensure your horses records are accurate.
