Our horse is being chipped on Wednesday. There was no such thing when we had our first lot of horses so this is a new thing for us. The only thing is, I'm wondering how much of a deterrent it really is to a horse thief who will surely not scan the animal before he decides whether or not to steal it. I've heard (can't remember where) that if you have a little horseshoe freezemarked on it shows that the horse has a microchip. Have I got this right? I've never seen it but then presumably it would be under the saddle so wouldn't be obvious when ridden which is the only time I tend to see other peoples' horses.

If you have your horse micro-chipped, is it freeze-branded as well?
