We support all types of equine ID at Stolen Horse International. Freeze branding is a great way to have a visible ID on a horse. It is also a visible detterrent. However, many people do not register their brands in many of our states. It is also hard to trace if the horse of a registered brand moves out of the state of registration.
We highly recommend this method but also encourage you to use another traceable ID like a microchip, which can be registerd in national registries with the microchip companies.
Stolen Horse International does have a national registry for all types of ID for a horse, the NetPosse Identification Program, NIP. We do recommend that you register your brand in your state and your microchip with the microchp company first.
The NIP registry has many features that not only help you register your horse ID but also focuses on proving ownership when you need it most. Click here to learn more.
Stolen Horse International provides news and other resources for free on this website. As a charitable organization we survive on the kindness of people like you. Please consider donating to help fund the organization or purchasing a NetPosse ID for your horse, dog or cat to help protect your beloved animals!
