Brands on neck

[emaguire]

Just wondering if anyone could help me to identify if there is a common breed/country/stud that brands on the neck. My horse has three brands on his neck, 3 digits on the right side and two brands on the left.

He was given to me and all I know is that he came from Portugal 8yrs ago. I don't know if he was bred there though.

Thanks in advance!

My old mare was branded on left side of the neck by the BBWA

British Bavarian Warmblood Association

so doubt its that but they used to brand on neck too

Some lusitano studs brand their foals on the necks as well as the off hind quarters. The Neck brand tends to refer to the year they were born and the number they were that year.

You can just about see Obelisco's brand on his neck in this one. It was very badly done though so very hard to decifer.

And you can see the brand on his quarters in this one (it's an R in a sheild) on reflection I don't know that any of the Portuguese studs brand necks only, if it's only one it is the quarters.
