Photo Challenge: 22 Brands
Hot brand or freeze brand, these horses are sporting some unique marks!
Branding is still a useful way to add an identifying feature to horses. Some breeds, including mustangs who have been adopted through the BLM or Standardbreds, still require the brand as a permanent form of identification; other breeds, including many warmbloods, include the brand as a verified indicator of a horse’s breeding. Whatever the case, here are # reader-submitted horses sporting a unique brand!
