Microchips implanted in horses, ponies used for tourism purpose
The Hindu
Horses and ponies being used for horse riding in the Nilgiris are being implanted with microchips as part of another effort to regulate equestrian tourism in the district.
For over a year, the district administration has been making efforts to regulate horse riding and to ensure the welfare of the animals. These efforts include prohibiting the horse owners to offer rides to tourists on the town’s roads, and also clamping down on owners who do not provide proper shelter to their animals.
