What a happy ending for the horse - I'm glad he has found you. Someone told me a quote once that 'every horse deserves at least once in his life to be loved by a little girl' and I think it's very true! I hope you find out his background, I am very intrigued now!

I have followed this thread with much interest and I really hope you find out his history at some point.

But if not then its not the end of the world....You have your future together and thats whats important :)

I have to say he looks like such a noble and wisened old boy, I really like him alot and you have done wonders with him, in the last pics he looks amazing... he really is a real credit to you :)

I wish you lots of happy times together as I would suspect he hasnt had an easy life so I am VERY pleased he has ended up in your care, you obviously love him very much and I am sure he is counting his blessings in finding a home with you.

Do keep us updated on his progress wont you? I am rooting for you both!

Had a peep on your thread hoping there might be some news about his past. But I agree that actually it's the here and now and his future which matters. He is one exceptionally lucky horse as I've said before and I'm so glad the two of you found each other. Please will you keep us updated with photos too, I think the transformation in him is incredible. A massive well done to you.

samandcasper - just to say I hope you find out your boy's history - keep plugging at it and hopefully you will find out. You are doing a great job and he looks very happy and loved in his new home with you.

Just to say I have sent you a quick pm about some info on branding which I came across from the website HorseData. co.uk. It may not be relevant, but there seems to be a fair bit of info on different European brands on the link I've sent you. I'm a firm believer that every little bit of info helps, anyway.

Good luck and well done once again for giving your lovely horse such a good home.

Also have you tried a thread in the main H&H forum, perhaps you could ask if anyone recognises the brand style on your horse and where they may originate from?

Also try posting details on the Intelligent Horsemanship website - alot of knowledgeable horsey people on there, that could perhaps shed a bit of light on his branding.

hi samandcasper,
ive just read all your threads about you and your casper, what an intriguing story. did you happen to find anymore info about him? i bought my horse 6years ago from a dealer, he was very under-nourished much to the extent of your boy (although he didnt have any nasty cuts or anything-whoever done that to him should be ashamed of themselves). he didnt have a passport (you didnt need them then) or papers (the dealer said he had a drawer full of papers and to take my pick- which i did not do). but he was very head-shy and we had a lot of trust issues with him with things like putting his headcollar on, picking out his feet and putting his saddle and bridle on. he wasnt being difficult, he was just scared (so scared even when he was the last one in the field he hated putting his nose in the headcollar, he pulled his head away as if i was going to smack him). it took me a while but with a lot of work he learnt to trust me. he also has a brand mark on his near-side hindquarter, i have been trying for AGES to see if anyone can figure out what it is and none of the brand marks on horsedata.co.uk match (its like a zangershiede stud mark mixed with belgium sports horse). so i know how you feel!hope you and casper are well and it would be good to know if you got anywhere?

One of my horses had very similar branding, both sides with numbers and letter on one side and two single numbers of the other size.

She was a Czech horse registered with the KPWN.

3 letters are the stud reference (prob in Czech letters, why they look like horns!), and the number on the same side is the year of birth.
the two numbers on the other side were to do with the mare. (I think from my crap memory)!

Hope this helps.

If it was a LOU mark, wouldn't there be records of him being marked etc? When I had my mare done there was loads of paperwork with the company who did it, could be worth checking out? Was it FarmKey or am I confused? Hope you find out some clues soon and would be great to continue to see pictures of him - well done :)

No info from me I'm afraid but I just wanted to say that he's a very lucky boy to have found his new Mum. He looks so different now, not just his weight but the look in his eye. You've made him happy and that's priceless. Well done to you and I hope you find out all about him.

Hi Sam..what a heartwearming story...I know it's wrong for dealers to do this with horses, but, at the end of the day whoever it was did give him free to a good home..and if he did come from the meat markets, which does seem probable..I think he was meant to be with Sam and her family..otherwise he would have gone to his fate at the market. He has such a wise and noble look in his eyes..and in the pic when you are on his neck cuddling him Sam..he shouts Lippizaner to me!Not so much in the other pics,but definitely that one.

Did you know you can get animals DNA tested?Not sure how much it is for horses nowadays, but my friend had his dog DNA tested for £50. If you go down this route at least you would know his breeding for sure..and then probably be able to link up the various brands with the breed Stud Book. I bought what was described as a TBx, I thought she looked like a Selle Francais...she had a very faint lip tattoo ,I did some digging and I was right, got all her breeding. Has Casper got a faint tattoo inside his lower lip by any chance? There are 2 avenues to go down.

Casper is adorable, there is something very special about him, can see that just from the pics. Will add you on FB and look forward to seeing how he gets on :)

Without being rude - but if he's happy and looked after what does it matter about his history?

It's always nice to have the history I know but it won't change what you have together now..if that makes sense?

I spent ages trying to find info on an old horse of mine, he had 2 numbers on either side of his back. One was the stud number and the other the foal number, after som digging i found that those brands were what they used for the Polish Warmbloods, i then managed to contact the studbook and eventually got a reply and got a tonne of info on him. Even down to where he was bred in Poland.

It did take me a long time, but it is possible! If you send me all the info i don't mind having a dig for it as i quite enjoyed finding my boys history, i knew nothing about him before that like you not even his name!

He looks the complete spit of my friends two Orlov Trotters! She sold them over a year ago I know they are branded up but not sure what with. I will ask the question. Lovely horse by the way.

Somebody earlier had mentioned Polish horses, I managed to find out this about the branding, might help.
Polish Warmblood (Wielkopolski):

Polish foals born in a national stud farm have a numerical brand under the saddle:

The right side is the number of stud farm.

The left side is the foal's number.

Foals from private breeders (regional breeding) are branded on the left leg (thigh).
