Lif...I did that of my own accord...wasn't aware of any rule about
brand inspectors. The gal that did the freeze-branding for me didn't
say anything at the time about any regulation, etc.

My idea was to have the freeze brand scream out at anyone with an idea
of taking my horse...it was a chestnut mare, and the hair on the brand
came out white after healing over...it was *very* noticeable, but not
ugly. I kept it shaved down, and actually, I thought it looked pretty
classy!
