The Chronicle Of The Horse

Some updates on USEF rules made at their recent annual meeting. One big change is that horses competing USHJA shows will be required to have their horse microchipped effective Dec 1, 2017. We recommend ISO microchips as they are the standard internationally. Tacoma Equine provides microchipping services if needed. Contact us if you have any quetions!
