what kind of freezemark does my horse have

[sundance01]

Does anyone know what kind of Freeze mark is 6 numbers - the usual british freeze mark is for instance A2s3 but my horse has a 6 digit number on her neck - I asked NED and they thought it may have been a stud number and last digits her year of birth - but its not that as last digits are 98 and shes only 10. I believe she is Trotter x TB and from Ireland but im stuck on the freezemark and trying to figure out more of her history. Any help is greatly appreciated

Why do you think she is 10? That was before passports and her age may have been exaggerated in her past.

Hi, When my friend originally got her 6 years ago from a dealer( I believe) the vet confirmed she was 4. Im not sure who it was she got her from but she was on her way to the meat man and my friend took her. she already had the freeze mark and it was believed she had come over from Ireland.

I have a pic on my pc but i cant figure out how to upload it onto here - the attached image just wants me to put in a URL. The freeze mark is half way up her neck and simply is 939998 if that helps

My horse had a " s" letter followed by 5 numbers, I did track the number down and after nearly 10 years of trying i found out who my horse was and where he came from & breeding papers .I would try emailing STAGBI . Let me know if you get the info on your horse.

thats funny Joeb21 as i think we thought the last digit was S but when i put into NED i found her in it by putting it as an 8 - i think the freezemark was registered with them when her passport was done- so i suppose it could have been put as 8 in error as its hard to tell what the number is - id need to clip her neck to see it proper - i will try with the S = thanks I will keep you updated - Can you please advise me was your horse from Ireland? We believe this type of mark they do in Ireland
