IDENTIFICATION, PLEASE!

Imagine yourself in these scenarios:

You quickly evacuated your horse in a fast-moving wildfire, but when you were ready to take him home you discovered shelter-barn personnel don’t know where he is.

You sold your home-bred horse with a clause stating that you’d take him back when he was ready to retire, but now he’s disappeared.

You purchased a high-dollar show horse with three socks and a blaze from a big-time breeder across the country—but the horse that arrived at your barn had only a star and snip.

Losing track of your horse would be heartbreaking. Taking delivery on the wrong horse—or dealing with a cross-country conundrum involving big bucks—would be time-consuming, stressful, and potentially expensive.

How do you avoid finding yourself in such a quandary? Ensure that your horse, as well as any horse you purchase, is positively identified. If your horse carries positive identification, there’s a much better chance that you’ll be successfully reunited with him if you’re ever separated, no matter what the reason. And with positive, no-fail ID, you’ll know that the horse you bought was the horse you got.
