Hi,
As this seems to be a popular subject today, any one got a horse which is showing in passport as having a brand, but nothing is showing on the horse?
My Trakehner's papers (pink) clearly show a brand (everything else fits.. all white markings whorls etc etc).. but even with imagination I cannot see anything, I bought him at the back end of last year and was thinking that it would be more visible with the summer coat... but as I say... even with alot of imagination I cannot see or feel anything.
I am going to check with the vet next time they are here, and was going to contact the breeder anyway just for interest as they are not far away...
Was just interested if anyone else had seen this and if they had heard of brands being done badly . and then not being permenant??

(he can be a bit of an a**e sometimes so I am wondering if they had problems

Only thing is , don't want to end up in problems if I come back to the UK with him one day, or if I am competing and there is problems as it does not match.
 
Odd My horse has had to have his freeze mark done 3 times as he has the hide of a rhino, but even after the first marking, there was a bit of a mark visible/felt.

I would contact the breeder, perhaps they had difficulty putting a brand on.
