Freezebranding

I am arranging for my two horses to be freezebranded in the near future. There is a discount for each horse you have done. If there is anybody in Fawley/Blackfield area who would like to come to my yard on the sameday and have their horses done at the same time please contact me.

I am getting mine done due to the amount of burglaries etc. in our area at the moment. My horses are already microchipped but I want the added security of freezebranding.

depending on when you do it, can I bring Raz up to get him done? He isnt chipped and I would feel happier if he was branded.

I'm going to get my done but I'm over the other side of the forest.

Yes you can get personalized ones.

I want FAYE on Mac and DAISY on Tibby, or I may get MAC1 and TIB1.

Mine are microchipped to but this is visable.

You can get a symbol that shows they are microchippe but I would worry that the theif would try and dig it out.

Sunlight when would be convenient for you? I have just sent them an email saying that I want it done waiting to hear back from them so if you let me know what would be convenient I can see what I can do. You might be better to see if a group want to get it done on your yard as there must be several there that would. It costs £46 each to get my two done; £60 ish for 1 horse; the price goes down the more horses you get. I am more than happy to pay the £46 for peace of mind just thought if anyone else wanted it done in the area it would save some money and save everyone the aggravation of booking individually. Let me know dates and I will see what I can do.

Robyn how many have you got?? I am in West Common is that near you??

Had all ours done in September for peace of mind. Believe we did have some discount for four. We have chosen our own personal mark, but I don't think they do names, not sure though. Lady did say say that the deman for their services has gone through the roof this summer, thanks to all the scares. Interestingly, the ponies have all scabbed, etc at different rates and some were visible sooner than others. Not one minded having it done - just the ones who aren't clipped didn't like that bit, but it was over before they knew it! Was well worth it

You need to contact Farmkey re. freezebranding. They put the brand under the saddle, on the shoulder or on the neck.

Sunlight/Nikki have spoken to Farmkey and have booked a visit they are booked up in November (no good to you then Sunlight) but if they get cancellation will let us know. Nikki they tell us when they are coming because they book several in the area at one time so I will have to let you know and you will have to see if it is convenient.

I am having personalised marks Spy is having SPY1 and Pablo is having PAB5
