What is the process of obtaining a microchip and implanting it into a Thoroughbred?
Microchips for Thoroughbreds can be purchased through The Jockey Club, or through your veterinarian or supplier. To microchip a Thoroughbred, the owner should contact their veterinarian. Only after the horse is properly identified should the microchip be implanted and reported to The Jockey Club through Interactive RegistrationTM (IR) located at http://www.registry.jockeyclub.com. IR requires a user ID and password, which can be obtained by signing up through the website or calling The Jockey Club Registry Office at (800) 444-8521. Use of IR is subject to The Jockey Club’s Terms and Conditions of Use for registry.jockeyclub.com. After logging on to IR, click on the Microchip Requesting, Reporting & Lookup banner in the Quick Links section on the left side of the page and follow the step-by-step instructions. Help screens are available.
