Does anyone out there know where I can get a branding iron from for freeze branding?

I have recently bred a 7/8 Lusitano and I want to freeze brand her with my own stud mark but I cannot find a company that makes them in the UK

Any help would be much appreciated

News from Emergosol 

The black horse pictured below is our new Ortigão Costa stallion, Zolista.  He is only four years old so not yet graded but we do have two of our mares in foal to him.  Zolista is by the stallion Tálio (Latino) and Tálio is currently competing at Grand Prix level ridden by Daniel Pinto.  Zolista was well placed in the Portuguese Dressage cup championship ridden by Emma.

From this year, we only have 2 foals remaining, Duna by Garibaldi out of Salomé (Orphee) and Damasco by Miano out of Nefrite (Fandango).  Both will make 16 hh and are great dressage prospects.  And we still have Azahari now standing over 16 hh and recently backed.  He went to Golegã and excelled himself by behaving perfectly in every way.

With this year's foals just weaned, we are now anxiously awaiting our first foal at the beginning of January.  This is by Talismã who absolutely stunned everyone with his fabulous display at Golegã resulting in amazing offers for the horse and orders for his straws from all over the world.
 

I thought that you would be interested, especially the Portuguese, in a little known memorial set deep in the heart of the New Forest, UK. It refers to the site of a hutted camp occupied by a Portuguese army unit during the First World War. This unit assisted the depleted local labour force in producing timber for the war effort. The Forestry Commission have retained this fireplace from the cookhouse as a memorial to the men who lived and worked here and acknowledge the financial assistance of the Portuguese Government in its renovation.

The photo shows Tetuã and myself and is credited to Olivia Pile. You can see her collection on my website with a link on the front page.

Hello

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has a lusitano with foot problems.
My mare was showing forelimb lameness so I had some MRI's taken. This showed that
she had soft tissue damage but I have no idea how this has happened as she is just 6
yrs old and has only done light schooling and hacking. I am wondering if this may be
due to a confirmation defect. The problem is, is that she is a part bred and I am
unable to find out what she was bred with. Her passport just says her sire was full
lusitano and her dam was part lusitano.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

 Joanne

Hi. I own a 4yr old Luso mare and am fairly new to the breed, though I have now become a huge fan! One of her field companions decided it might be fun to chew out a section of her lovely mane, and although it is slowly growing back I was wondering if anyone had any tips/hints.

My imported 5yr old Luso gelding castrated in early April is very colt like and playful with his field companion.  He constantly tears at his companions turnout rug the more white fluffy lining he can extract the better!  This always happens if he has a day off as he is easily bored.  I don’t want to separate them but repairing rugs is affecting my sense of humour!  Any suggestions welcome!

 I hope you have read the events page re Fiona Foy’s Clinics.  I am still the only lonely Lusitano rider on the clinic so far!  There must be some more Lusitano owners out there so where are you?  It would be great to get like minded people together to share the ups and downs of training etc. There are some clever? young Andalusians and Warmbloods at the clinic so we are all facing the same sort of challenges!  Please feel free to email me on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it if you are out there!Meanwhile congratulations to Fiona Foy for winning the Prix St George Class on Chico at Moreton recently in Dorset!

My mother has become very good at making to measure portuguese skirts for showing and i wondered if anyone was interested in ordering one for the show season. So far she has used velvet and the normal cotton and both have been excellent.
