Microchips are the gold standard for identity. EquiTrace translates the unique microchip numbers into a horse name eliminating any errors. Combining identity with GPS ensure the right horse is in the right place at the right time.  

Using our ID feature with our medication features means the right horse gets the right drug. 10% of all positive drug referrals are due to the wrong horse been given medication intended for another horse. 

Trainers can see what is happening with animals based at other sites and rehoming charities can check their animals are in the correct location.

Data is not stored on the microchip, but securely through the cloud. Data is only accessed by the account holder and approved people. If you sell the animal, all data remains with you, unless you choose to share it.

Anywhere large numbers of horses are in transit Identity, GPS tracing and communication become critical. EquiTrace eliminates identity errors and streamlines paperwork. 

Sales houses & competition centres use EquiTrace to check animals in, monitor movement on site and reduce paperwork. Veterinarians and breeding studs can track exact locations of all horses within the app.  

In the event of disease outbreaks such as herpes, influenza or strangles, veterinarians have all the information they need to identify contacts and isolate the infected animals.
