Freezemarking session Oxfordshire this spring

[the watcher]

Hello all. I will be organising a freezemarking session with Freezemark this spring at a yard between Swindon and Oxford for those of you who might wish to make your horses more identifiable and therefore less likely to be stolen.
Please contact me on this thread or by PM if you wish to participate. There are reduced rates if several horse are marked together. I will also ask the local Police to attend to stamp tack on the day and give crime prevention advice and hopefully there will be some local press to spread the message.

I need to have an idea of numbers in advance and since this is going to involve a number of horses (so an operator for a full day), Freezemark will be asking for a deposit in advance when we can agree on a date

I managed to get Harry done before Christmas but will ask around to see if anyone else wants theirs done. Winkfiedwintershere is our local South Oxon Horsewatch Coordinator and i am sure she will send a message around locally for you.

have PM'ed you, not sure though if freezemark do the micro chip sign, i know farmkey do... ?

 

[the watcher]

Freezemark do not do the micromark. Their rationale is that the mark is small and easily missed, even if it is recognised you still need the right chip reader to identify the horse - therefore they concentrate to freezemarking which is an immediate form of identification

Yes, please let me have info

Weezy, I think we have settled on the 9th Feb, which is a Tuesday. It will be local to me.

The more the merrier as the cost comes down the more horses being done....

 

[Weezy]

I will put a note on our board and see what numbers I can come up with x

 

[the watcher]

The date is the 9th February at Baulking near Faringdon in Oxfordshire.

If you are interested please let me know asap so we can keep a track of numbers

Hate to drag up an old thread - But would there be any interest in doing this again do you think???

I emailed my Riding club but they dont seem to think there would be much uptake.
