On two different occasions Kryo Kennetics put the wrong symbol and later 
changed it without any problems, so I no longer believe they cannot be 
changed also.  There have been several instances where people have multi 
numbered of the same colored horses and the person died or some unfortunate 
thing happen where horses could not be id by owner so alot of guessing and 
confusion went on trying to decided who was who. This especially happen when 
you have several greys on a farm with no easily ID marks. This is another 
good reason for freeze branding.  I came to own a *Bask granddaughter and a 
Arn-ett Perlane daughter from this kind of situation ... they were both the 
only two in the herd of 20 grey mares with freeze brands.
