Freeze-marking-how much time off for the horse pls/

[prudunce]

My local RC are getting farmkey down to do a freeze-marking sessio soon!(4 dys b4 events start). Does anyone know how long the horse needs off whilst freezemark heals?(under saddle area) or suppose i cud opt for shoulder area,as i dont do showing?
thanks

I think Farmkey normally say allow 4 days or a week if you have a grey. Generally I have always allowed a week to make sure with my chestnuts. A grey I would proably still only give a week off as they are nearly always done on the shoulder.

 

[BBs]

Freezemark said around 5-7 days

 

[RobinHood]

When I had mine done they said 5-7 days for the shoulder and 7-10days if it's done under the saddle.

 

[conniegirl]

i gave mine a week off when he was done on his saddle patch

Whoops!!!
Ment to say at the time of marking you get 1 yr free membership
pay a 4 yr fee when you get your horse marked and added to your first free yr's membership you will pay nothing more for 5 yrs. £36.95 at time of marking

But its a 'how much time for healing' question, not a 'how much does it cost' question

 

[Gucci_b]

getting carried away with the question, to may be "go it alone!"

you can never have to much info!! may help others

 

[Stella]

Absolutely

Hey Prudunce

Cor blimey, last time I had a horse freezemarked it was £25!

The ability to change freezemarks was explained to me yesterday. The person said that they worked at a dealers yard when they were 16 and some horses came in and had the numbers in their freezemarks changed with paroxide and hair die! This is so depressing. Since I have heard that few, if any abbotoirs, auctions or even animal welfare workers bother to have the equipment to read microchips, I was going to have my mare mare after the Amersham rescue concentrated my mind. Now I don't know what to do
