The Brand

The Brand shows the capital "A" for America, with a subtle "W' for Warmblood. Over the "A" is a crown symbolizing nobility of the breed. The outline of the crown captures the entire "A" and "W", to indicate the bond and unity of American Warmbloods and symbolizes the new tradition. The emphasis is not "Warmblood", but rather the Sport Horse/Pony of modern type. Sport horses/Ponies must qualify to be branded with a minimum - 67% In-hand, approved Inspections or outstanding performance. Performance horse/ponies with a minimum dressage score of 63% at 1st level, test 4 (or equivalent in other recognized sports) also qualify to be branded. “Supreme” horse/ponies scoring 80% and higher are offered a free brand.
