hi does any one know if NED keeps details of every freeze marked horse? i heard they did but i cant find details of a couple of old horses i no. if they dont who else can i try or could it be that their freeze marks were never registered?

The original freeze marking firm was Farmkey, cos my old horse was done. They did keep a register and you were supposed to tell them if the horse was sold, or died. The World Horse Welfare horses are done, looks the same as Farmkey, but I don't know if its still them, or someone else!

You now have to pay an annual fee to keep your horse on the register. That could account for some older horses being missing off the register. I think it is still Farmkey. I've gone microchip instead with my young horse.

thanx guys, i'll look in2 farmkey. mayb their freeze mark details were never added 2 their passports. do u think horses r less likely 2 b stolen if their freeze marked? my worst fear is turning up at the field 2 find them gone! thinking about getting mine chipped and freeze marked?

I prefer micro chips to freeze marks. You can register the micro chip number with you or even change it and it is hidden beneath you horses skin not on the skin itself
