Freeze branding is a virtually pain free, humane method of permanently marking a horse for identification purposes. Freeze branding is the process of using a branding iron that has been super chilled with liquid nitrogen (-196º Celcius) which is then applied to the hide of the horse. The extreme cold destroys the cells in the horse's skin that produce pigmentation or colour. Therefore a freeze branded horse will have white hair grow back where the freeze branding iron was held on the skin.
Unlike fire branding there is no open wound, making grooming, rugging, training etc, easy almost immediately afterwards.
TCS Freeze Branding offers freeze branding services for all your branding needs. We provide freeze branding for thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, riding horses and ponies and any other animals as needed.
As the providers for the Harness Racing Victoria, we also complete all required DNA collection services.
