We got a new horse at the barn and are trying to figure out his brand. I was hoping someone here could identify it? Hopefully this is a good enough photo, but if not I can get more this weekend.

Thank you! Sent some RPSI examples off to my trainer and we agree that it looks like that up close. We knew he was a Warmblood… they said Hanoverian, but the brand definitely did not match. He is a cool horse regardless of brand, but always interesting to try to decipher the more faded ones.
It is RPSI. My mare has one on her left hind, and her breeder’s brand on her right hind. HV has absorbed the RPSI registered horses. It was in recent years, so maybe now they have HV papers instead of RPSI? My riding horse still has RPSI papers. He may have HV lines but just not able to be registered HV.
Actually, Westfalen absorbed RPSI. Hanoverian and Rhinelander now work together, although operate separate books.
