Hi,
I am hoping to get my horse freezemarked this week due to seeing so many horses being stolen in the local area. I have been told that i shouldn't have it done because:
-It doesnt deter thieves
-it's cruel to have it done
-I will never be able to show my horse again
-it makes the horse look "cheap"
So could you guys help me come up with a final decision.
Even if it doesnt deter thieves, if the horse was to be stolen surely a marking is a brilliant way of relocating the horse as its a distinct mark. I'm planning on getting it on her bum since she's mostly white. Shouldn't a good judge except that the horse has a freezemark for identification rather than mark a horse down for it? I would rather be safe than sorry! My horse is currently microchipped so i am getting the micromark and two letters so it's not too big.
What are your experiences and views on it?
Thanks!
