Wyoming Brand Inspections: Your Key to Confident Horse Ownership!

As a horse owner, understanding our state's brand laws is essential for smooth and secure ownership. Think of brand inspections as your horse's official ID and proof of ownership, ensuring peace of mind for you and protection for your equine companion.
Here’s what you need to know about Wyoming's brand laws and how they apply to horses:

* New to Wyoming? If you're bringing your horse to our beautiful state, a brand inspection is a must! This quick and easy process simply verifies your ownership. Opting for a lifetime brand inspection even provides a fantastic photo ID for your horse!

* Getting Your Inspection: To obtain your brand inspection, simply present either the brand inspection from your previous state (if applicable) or the health inspection you obtained for travel. Your health inspection will conveniently include a description of your horse and its destination.

* Visiting or Passing Through? No Worries! If you're just visiting Wyoming for training, competition, or simply passing through, you are not required to have a brand inspection. Enjoy your time here!

* Traveling with Your Horse? Stay Prepared! When hauling your horse across county lines, a current brand inspection is your essential companion. Keep it handy to ensure a smooth journey.

* Purchasing a Horse in Wyoming? Make it Official! For seamless transactions, we highly recommend having a brand inspector present when you purchase a horse in Wyoming. They'll expertly verify the seller's ownership, often witness the exchange, and promptly issue a new brand inspection in your name – making the transfer of ownership official and secure.

* Brands or No Brands – Inspections are Key! Your horse doesn't need to have a physical brand to require an inspection. While a brand can add another unique identifier, the brand inspection itself is the definitive proof of ownership. Think of it as your horse's official state-issued title, regardless of whether it carries a brand.

* Beyond Paperwork: Your Brand Inspection is the Gold Standard! In Wyoming, registration papers or a bill of sale are not considered proof of ownership. Your brand inspection serves as the official, state-issued title for your horse, offering security and recognition of your ownership.

Pro-Tip: Go for the Lifetime Inspection!
From a seasoned horse owner's perspective, a lifetime brand inspection is an absolute game-changer! It's incredibly affordable and grants you the freedom to travel with your horse for its entire life (or until you sell it). I always get the lifetime inspection and keep a digital copy on my phone – it’s always accessible, no matter where I am, and eliminates any last-minute worries about misplaced paperwork, especially during urgent vet trips.

They are dedicated to helping you navigate the regulations, ensuring you stay on the right side of the law, and most importantly, protecting you as the rightful owner of your beloved animal.

Our farrier, Royle Scrogham, is hands down the best there is. He cares deeply about your horse and is always willing to answer questions and provide solutions. We are so thankful for you, Royle!

It’s ! Let’s take a moment to celebrate and thank our farriers!

Proper foot care is the cornerstone of maintaining a sound horse, and a good farrier is an essential part of your equine's healthcare team, keeping your horse’s feet balanced and well-supported. Farriers and veterinarians often work together for the best interests of the horse, so a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset. Be sure to let your farriers know they are appreciated!

Due May of 2026!

Fancy is going to be a big sister!

Rain is confirmed in foal to Hashtags Dyesville. We are super excited about this cross. He’s a bit smaller and more refined than Nic (fancy’s sire) but he makes up for it in talent and an excellent mind. Hashtags are known for their athleticism and cow sense so this should be an exciting foal to watch grow and compete. 💜

First aid.

When I first brought my horses home I wanted to put together a first aid kit of sorts. I looked around but I couldn’t find a very comprehensive list of things to keep for “just in case”. After several years and many horses, I now know what I recommend for every horse owner to have on hand.

Heres my list…. If you have anything to add, please leave it in the comments!

Banamine. (For colic and smooth muscle issues)
Bute. (skeletal muscle pain)
Syringes
Needles
Thermometer (when you call the vet with an issue, the first thing they will ask is for the horses vitals)
Stethoscope
Banamine
Equioxx (mostly for senior horses or horses with chronic lameness)
SMZ’s (antibiotics)
Magic cushion and everything you need to pack it (duct tape, vet wrap…)
Bute
Good fly spray. The strong stuff.
Bio sponge (for diarrhea)
Betadine/iodine
Vetericyn
Gauze
Sanitary pads/diapers
More vet wrap
Underwood’s and baking powder
Furazone (wound dressing)
Thrust treatment
Gloves
Paper towels
Clean buckets
Scissors
More banamine
Omeprazole (for ulcers)
More bute.

I know a few things on this list or by Rx only but nearly every vet I’ve ever met with will write you a Rx for it if they’ve seen your horse within a reasonable amount of time. Even if it’s when you’re getting your yearly vaccines, ask if you can get some banamine and bute to keep on hand. It could save your horses life. Both are available in paste and granulated form.

Snake repellent.

If your around the barn and you see these fluorescent yellow little balls, they are snake repellent. They smell like moth balls and are non toxic so no need to worry about coming in contact with them.

I’m not sure if it’s the sudden heat or all the moisture we’ve got this year but the snakes have been bad. One of our boarders saw a snake fall from the ceiling in the barn! While snakes are most generally harmless, most of us don’t like to cross paths with these slithery serpents. All the snakes that have been spotted here have been bull snakes.

Eventually, I’d like to plant lavender around the edge of the barn. According to my research, lavender is a snake deterrent. Not only will it serve the purpose of repelling snakes, it will also be beautiful! Unfortunately that’s a next year project so for this year, I’m giving these a try.

Any other tips on deterring snakes would be appreciated!

Final day of camp.

The girls got to go on another trail ride, learned all about horses teeth (even got to feel inside their mouth!) then had a pony painting party before our commencement cook out.

Thank you everyone for trusting The Soaring H with your kiddos for the week.

We look forward to next summer!
