How to tell a standardbreds freeze brand?

To identify a freeze-branded Standardbred, look for a distinct, hairless mark on the horse's neck or shoulder, which is created by applying extreme cold to the skin. The brand typically features a series of numbers or letters that indicate the horse's registration number or lineage. Ensure the brand is clear and legible, as it can sometimes fade or grow hair over time. Checking with the breed registry can help confirm the horse's identity based on the freeze brand.
