Brand Marks & USEF Pony Finals Modeling Classes

My aspiring Pony Finalist is concerned about this. I attempted to locate the answer in the Pony Finals rule book & was unable to turn up anything. Are points deducted for breed brands in the model? Or looked upon unfavorably at all? I can’t see how they would be with so many WB’s in the horse hunters nowadays. But so much about pony hunters makes no sense to me so I thought it best to ask!

I would not expect it to make any difference whatsoever.

Makes no difference. A brand is not a blemish or unsoundness.

No, a brand will not be penalized. It’s not a blemish or an unsoundness

Yay! I figured it wouldn’t. My child is a worrier, though.
