how to make body butter at home

how to make body butter at home
Registered horse . . ?

We just noticed today that my horse has numbers on his upper lip. We bought him from an auction a couple years ago and we studied his body conformation and such and we say he is a Thoroughbred.

We are pretty sure that the numbers on his upper lip are his registry numbers.

1.) Are the numbers his registered numbers?

2.) How can I look them up and see if he's registered and see his pedigree? I've just looked on allbreedpedigree.com and it says you need letters, not numbers for the horses name.

3.) How can I make him stand still so I can look at the numbers and write them down to look them up? I've tried putting peanut butter in his mouth so he would do the thing with his teeth but he won't let me.

By the way, we re-named him from the auction because we never got to meet the real owners so we just took him home and I found a name for him on the way home.

Thanks,

They are not precisely his registration numbers, but they are linked to his registration numbers.

The most common breeds of horses that have lip tattoos are Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, and Quarter Horses. Not all horses of these breeds have lip tattoos; the tattoo is only applied to horses that are in training to race and are close to making their first start. All horses that have started in a race in the United States have a tattoo, but not all horses that have tattooed have raced. Some get the tattoo applied and either get injured prior to racing, have a behavioral or vet problem that keeps them from racing, or the owner just decides it isn't worth racing them.

A Thoroughbred's lip tattoo consists of a letter of the alphabet followed by either 4 or 5 numbers. (If the tattoo has 5 numbers, the first number after the alphabet letter will be from 0 to 5).

The alphabet letter is code for the horse's year of birth, as follows:

1971 = A 1972 = B 1973 = C 1974 = D 1975 = E 1976 = F
1977 = G 1978 = H 1979 = I 1980 = J 1981 = K 1982 = L
1983 = M 1984 = N 1985 = O 1986 = P 1987 = Q 1988 = R
1989 = S 1990 = T 1991 = U 1992 = V 1993 = W 1994 = X
1995 = Y 1996 = Z 1997 = A 1998 = B 1999 = C 2000 = D
2001 = E 2002 = F 2003 = G 2004 = H 2005 = I 2006 = J
2007 = K 2008 = L 2009 = M 2010 = N 2011 = O 2012 = P
2013 = Q 2014 = R 2015 = S 2016 = T 2017 = U 2018 = V
2019 = W 2020 = X 2021 = Y 2022 = Z

A Standardbred's lip tattoo always has 5 characters, either a letter and four numbers or two letters and three numbers. The first letter in the tattoo indicates the year of birth, as follows (Note that a Standardbred tattoo does not use the letters "I" or "O" or "Q" or "U" or "Y"; it goes from H to J and skips "I," and goes from N to P and skips "O," and goes from P to R and skips "Q," and goes from T to V and skips "U" and goes from X to Z and skips "Y"):

1971 = P 1972 = Q 1973 = R 1974 = S 1975 = T 1976 = U
1977 = V 1978 = W 1979 = X 1980 = Y 1981 = Z 1982 = A
1983 = B 1984 = C 1985 = D 1986 = E 1987 = F 1988 = G
1989 = H 1990 = J 1991 = K 1992 = L 1993 = M 1994 = N
1995 = P 1996 = R 1997 = S 1998 = T 1999 = V 2000 = W
2001 = X 2002 = Z 2003 = A 2004 = B 2005 = C 2006 = D
2007 = E 2008 = F 2009 = G 2010 = H 2011 = J 2012 = K
2013 = L 2014 = M 2015 = N 2016 = P 2017 = R 2018 = S
2019 = T 2020 = V 2021 = W 2022 = X

A Quarter Horse lip tattoo has either 4 or 5 numbers, with an alphabetical letter at the END of the tattoo. That makes it easy to tell a Quarter Horse tattoo from either a Thoroughbred or a Standardbred tattoo.

So: if you roughly know his age, you can look at the first character in his lip tattoo and determine whether he's a Standardbred, Thoroughbred, or Quarter Horse.

The Jockey Club has a free lip tattoo research service: https://www.registry.jockeyclub.com/registry.cfm?page=dotRegistryHelpDeskTattoo

The United States Trotting Association (USTA), the governing registry organization for Standardbreds, has a free lip tattoo research service: http://pathway.ustrotting.com/search/index.cfm

The American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) will look up a tatto number for free if you call them at 806-376-4811.

To make your horse stand still, you might try a lip chain if you know how to use one. FWIW if your horse raced, he should be used to having his lip turned up so his tattoo can be read. If you don't know how to use a lip chain, I'd advise you to get help from an experienced horseman.

Hope this helps.
