Boysie

[rachyrooster]

Boysie came from a horse sale. he has a legit english passport, you know the ones we had to get in 2000 or whenever it was.

He also has a Dutch record document with his family tree on it. Its very interesting and apparently his name is Boden's Zwaantje his father came from a line of throughbreds x dutch warmbloods and was Bodens Ride.

His mothers side is Belgium warmblood, which are huge almost cart-horse type things.

I've done a bit of reasurch andfound some cool pictures. I also translated allot of it using google!

AND thats when it gets INTERESTING becasue at the top amoungst the discriptions it says Boysie is a MARE!

Also on the front is which i thought was an embulum for the company, but apparently its a brand mark - which one would imagine should be on him! it's not.

So i'm trying to get in cantact with the duch people and find out if this 'pedegree' even belongs to boysie! all the horses have numbers, so it should be possible to find something out.

I'll post if i find out anything. In the meant time if anyone can help????????

thats very odd, it might be his papers got mixed in with someone elses during transporting or something similar

as for branding they can be branded but not everyone chooses to and some societies are really strict on it such as the Oldenburg where you have to take horses to them to be graded in order to be branded so they might not of bothered to or it might be that it has just faded quite a lot Ollie is branded but you can always see it that great and another hrose i know has a very fine coat even in winter and you can only see hers if she has fluffed up alot
