"We prefer freeze branding over hot branding.
We feel it is a compliment to the horse and it is much easier on the horse.
We also like the ease of application for freeze branding.
We brand for two reasons:
One of course is theft protection.
This does not mean that your horse will not get stolen, but, you have a much better chance of getting him back if he is stolen.
The other reason is because we feel we put out quality horses and are proud to have our brand on them, it is great advertisement."
Your FIRST step is to apply for and receive a
"LIVESTOCK BRAND CERTIFICATE OF TITLE"
from the WSDA
 |
Supplies needed:
Cooler |
 Mark your spot. Brand template is the size of your brand. Our brand is registered for the left front shoulder of the horse. |
 Ready to clip. |
 Clip hair from spot. After clipping is complete apply some pressure with your hand on this spot so the horse will be prepared for the pressure of the branding iron. |
 After clipping move your horse to your secure area where they can not move around on you. Put your brand in the cooler with the LN. When it stops boiling it is ready to appy.Spray area with alcohol. This allows the Liquid nitrogen to work better. |
 Apply brand. Push & Rock but don't lift! |
 Results right after brand is applied |
 Results after a few minutes. At this point the brand puffs out. When the puffiness goes away you will only see the shaved spot until the hair grows. |
 Results: A beautiful Brand you can be proud of. As well as a way to ID your horse. |
