Picked up this mid-teens buggy mare over the weekend because apparently I have zero impulse control when someone calls saying they’ve got a horse needing a soft landing. Owner claimed she’s full Standardbred, but her conformation and trot are telling me there’s something else here. X? Maybe with a DHH (don’t know much about that breed)?
She’s freeze branded (on the hip, not a racing STB tattoo) and I’m hoping one of you brand experts can help me figure out what it is.
Sweet mare, smart, tries hard, a bit reactive and spooky right now (and super not thrilled about being in quarantine).
Appreciate any insight y’all can throw my way. Thanks!

Poor thing.
I am no help with the brand but just wanted to thank you for giving her a soft landing.

It looks like an S and a J?
There is a facebook group for identifying horse brands that would probably be the most help. Those folks can search through the different states’ books pretty fast.

What are you calling her?

Thank you! 
She came with the name “Star” - which she seems to know well so we’re keeping it (even though it’s a bit “on the nose”…
