Beauty Branding







As you can tell, the branding does not display distinctly on dark coats and especially those with luster. Falcon Ranch will be working the brand into lighter coats as well.

The Beauty Brand

During the 2012 Amaretto Relay for Life Auction for a Cure event a special horse was auctioned as a fund raiser. This horse would bear a unique, breeder designed brand. Isabeau Dagostino and Mexx Merlin of Wonderfoll Horses won the bidding with a $L300,000 high bid.

Mexx and Isabeau solicited ideas for the brand from the breeding community. Three finalist brands - the Egyptian Horus Eye, the Royalty Crown and the Chinese character for Beauty - were voted on by the breeding community and the Beauty brand was selected.



"Beauty is the meaning of the Chinese character and we think it's more than just a beautiful decorative element. It's a statement." [ Beauty - The Story - by Wonderfoll Horses ]




We agree, it is a beautifully unique brand, rare and eloquent in expression. Falcon Ranch is honoured to carry this brand in our herd.
