TUESDAY TRIVIA ANSWER

 

Microchips should be placed on the left side of the neck, just below the mane, roughly a third of the way down the neck.  Injecting the microchip in this area ensures placement in the nuchal ligament.  The goal is for the horse's body to surround the microchip with scar tissue so that it can't migrate far from the injection site.

Legacy Equine is happy to offer microchipping both in the clinic and on the farm.  The price of $35 includes the placement of the microchip and a life-time registration of your chip.
