    Location: Mims, FL | Thanks for your help! It's truly appreciated. I am getting discouraged now since there are several people that use that brand. I have been trying to call the guy at Rabbit Choker and it just rings, so no luck there yet and his email just comes back as undeliverable. |

    Location: Mims, FL | No luck with rabbit choker ranch, he said he only brands on the hip as does his partner in North Dakota. |

| The brand book for Ky is online. I've never seen that brand, but I've never looked for it either. It's not an insurmountable task to browse our brand book. It's only about 900 or so brands total. |

   Location: On My Horse! | Many moons ago, well about 12 years ago, when I went to Youth World I saw a horse with a small Play Boy bunny on his left cheek. Super cute little horse. Unknown his breeding or who owned him. I was stalled by him. Sorry, I'm no help. Just wanted to share lol.

| There was a guy from GA or SC that I saw set up at a barrel race several years that did freeze branding. That playboy bunny was one of the brands he had available. He said it got used a lot when he set up at trail rides and places there was younger guys. It might not have much or any affiliation with any one person or farm/ranch. Good luck with your search though. |

    Location: Mims, FL | Just bumping this up one last time. I've spent hours trying to find out anything about him. Since I posted this I've got on him bareback, he took a bit easily and he moves off your leg like a pro so someone spent some time on him at some point in his life. Fingers crossed someone recognizes his brand!! Thanks everyone!! |

    Location: Mims, FL | Thanks guys! The brand on the left hip is most likely Rabbit Catcher Ranch, the ears are a bit longer. I spoke w/ him last week and he was very sweet but said he had never branded any horse on it's shoulder. We are thinking this was most likely just something someone did for marking purposes or for fun because I cant find much out there w/ this brand on the shoulder. :(
It has been fun getting to know him without his history, since everyday we figure out something new but it would be nice to know if he's going to attempt to kill me once he gets to feeling better lol.
