I have a mustang that I’ve had for 13 years… He’s the sweetest kindest horse on earth. I can see. By the way he’s slowing down that he’s getting up there in years, but I don’t know his age because I need help to suffering his brand. I’m hoping someone here can help. I’ve attached two pictures of his brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Based on the information here:
Decoding A Mustang Horse Brand - Helpful Horse Hints
it looks like they estimated his foaling year as 1997
and his brand number is 5621(?)35
I’m seeing it as 562635
I wasn’t sure if it was a second vertical line for 1 or something on the bottom for 6. IMO, it could be either. But I think 1997 is correct for the year, so at 27 it’s a bit surprising it’s still pretty clear.
Do you any official papers on him? I have a couple things on my guy including a BLM document that has a freezemark number. Because otherwise reading your brand seems pretty tough.
