I have a mare which i rescued last year in an appauling state. I know nothing about her only that she was used to breed coloured foals and has now got a pelvic problem,This mare is i think arab X and has an unusual freezemark begining in DK.
My dentist thinks she may be from Denmark anyone with any ideas on how to find out about freezemarks?
 
Contact freezemark and farmkey, im not sure that the DK means anything as you can pick whatever you want, my mare has KTY1 as her name is Katie, i just picked a personal one!
 
The freezemark is also in an unusual place, it is under her mane about half way up her neck. Most others i have seen are in the saddle area or near the shoulder. It has DK followed by 5 numbers, some could be the letter O. Dentist had never seen one like it.
 
Just looked on both freezmark and farmkey sites for info, both say maximum 4 digits for marking, there are 7 on my mare. I have tried seeing if it is a postcode, but it doesn't exsist. Will feel very upset if she is from abroad as she was obviously good enough at some point to import and to end up in the state she was is heartbreaking!!!!
