Sorry but that is blatent advertising- Also how long have you been fitting as i was fitting microchips in saddles 10 years ago (now retired from saddlery so not advertising) - I cant be the only one!
Edited to add: i fitted chips into the tree- if you just poke it into the stuffing it would take about 10 mins to find and remove without damaging the saddle- it could easily be removed by accident during reflocking

Sour grapes? What is the point in promoting an ineffective product? suppose i buy some freeze brands and just randomly mark horses with no central register? is that ok? Im sorry i upset your friend but its still a sloppy way to introduce a microchip to a saddle

I didn't read the original post before it disappeared, but imagine it was for SaddleTrak chips - which do go onto a Central Register that is updated 3 yearly to comply with data protection requirements. There is also a tag or plate supplied to show that a chip is fitted
If nothing was fitted during saddle construction, and the saddle is synthetic and therefore not suitable for stamping with a post code I think these are not a bad, low budget, idea- and certainly better than doing nothing. I also have Saddle Trak chips for sale on behalf of Horsewatch - but wouldn't dream of advertising them here.
The bottom line is that property can only be identified and returned after theft if it is unique, and thieves are put off stealing things that can be idenfied - so anything we can do as a deterrant is a good thing.

That can only be a matter of opinion, really. People could make their own mind up couldnt they.
Instead of the traffic police making everyones mind up for them.

I did read the original post, and yes it was. I also sell them, but like others, would not adverise them on here. They cannot protect the theft of a saddle, but they can help in recovering them, as long as the Chip, once implanted, is registered.

My saddle which I bought second hand has a tag on it saying I think Saddle Bug, does anyone know how I can find out if it is tagged and then register it in my name

You need to get somebody to run a scanner over it - ask the vet next time you are there?
