First Is The Paperwork
The technician will begin by having the owner complete the Horse Owner
Agreement Form and the Release Form with information on the owner and the horses
to be identified. Registered horses need to be presented with their
original registration certificates and grade horses will require a "Bills Of
Sale" or other documentation of ownership. The technician will verify that
the horses match their registration certificates and the person presenting the
horse is the owner or has been authorized by the horse owner.
The technician will begin completing the identification paperwork on the
horse which includes a "signalment key". This form will document all the
natural makings, hair whorls, age, gender, scars and other unique
characteristics of each individual animal. This information is calculated
into a "signalment key number" which is combined with the individual freeze mark
to be applied to the horse. This process will also include digital
photographs showing the above characteristic. All this information will be
processed into KKUSA LLC's computer database, and hard files are kept on every
horse, and all files are backed up for added protection. Currently there
are over 20,000 in the database. State livestock offices and breed
associations, when applicable, will receive copies of the paperwork.
Additional copies will gladly be supplied for insurance carriers.
