Brand reading

[twisting]

My new girl arrived today, thin but otherwise well. She's not a kiger, but you guys are the only folks I know who have any practice reading brands. I'm 99% sure the number on my mare's neck is not the same number that's on the paperwork I have. She is the horse I picked out, I just think I may have gotten the wrong paperwork. I've already emailed a picture to Patti at Burns but I thought I would see if you guys can make anything out. It's very blurry and her coloration doesn't help any.

The year is what seems to be off. Not going to tell you just yet what it should be (or what I think it is) because I don't want to color your opinions.

that picture is kinda hard to read from , at least to my eyes. do you have a different one without the sun streaks. but if i had to guess from that picture i think i would say '08

Heard back from the BLM. The brand on her neck is wrong and the paperwork is correct. She's only 2. Phew, she'll get a bit bigger. (I'm going to have the vet take a look at her teeth just incase.)

Good Idea Kate! I want to know how old she is. And I'm glad I wasn't wrongLOL It's 09 not 10!
Make sure you get BLM to sends you some paperwork on the mistake or she will never be able to Pass a brand inspection!
