Thank you all so much for your replies. To be honest I'm having trouble getting a straight answer from anyone that knows the horse... the woman who has him at the moment seems to change her story all the time! I thought that he had been branded and then couldn't jump but I was told yesterday...
Ouch indeed! I think nowadays freeze branding is done instead though I think not so much here in Portugal... I'm talking proper red hot iron brand here, left on too long apparently.
Hi Everyone,
A little advice needed if you'd be so kind.
I'm interested in a pony, he's such a sweetheart but I'm worried about one thing. The woman who is looking after him (owner died) said that he had serious muscle damage after a bad hot brand. She's not very knowledgeable about horses so...
