I have toyed with an obvious freeze brand on mine, because the slaughterhouses do have to have brands cleared in order to buy branded horses. They don't have to look for chips or tattoos that I know of (and they don't have to clear the under-mane freeze brands on Arabs)

A friend has done shoulder freeze brands on all of his.

The EU required all British horse owners to apply biochips to their horses so they can be acceptable as meat for the French market. Another reason I hate the French.
