Before you pay for either of these searches, please look at the lip tattoo closely.
An Appendix lip tattoo usually will have four or five number and a letter.
Example 4545A
Sometimes, there will be just 5 numbers, but usually there is 4 or 5 number and a letter.
The letter doesn't indicate anything.
For a Thoroughbred lip tattoo it is usually a letter and then four number, sometimes 5 and can have 5 numbers, but usually a letter and then 4 numbers. The letter at the beginning of the tattoo indicates the year the horse was born.
Example L2323 (the 'L indicates 2008)
In 1997 the letter 'A was used and when the letter 'Z is used, they will start all over. Reasoning that the horse will be deceased by the age of 25.
Most horse's that have lip tattooes have been on the race track. Many race horses are sold, a lot of times without papers. These horse are usually Appendix horses and the plight of the Appendix horse goes on. This association wants to give these horse an association that belongs to just the Appendix horse.
When you submit a tattoo search the age and color of the horse is very important to the search. We match the age and color to the tattoo number to find the pedigree of the horse.
If we find the pedigree, we wil mail the pedigree to you.
A pedigree search usually takes 5 to 10 business days. If we do not find the horse's pedigree on the first search, you can look again at the tattoo and we will try whatever numbers and letters you come up with. Once, we start a search, we will not refund any money even if we do not find a pedigree. We are looking for the pedigree with the information you give us and will not be responsible for any errors when matching the horse to a tattoo number.
We offer this service to find Appendix horse sold without papers to give them back their pedigree and to offer the owner of the horse an avenue to register the horse back into a horse organization designed just for the Appendix horse. If you do not find a pedigree, you can register with a Hardship registration. For more information about Hardship qualifications follow this link Hardship qualifications
