Recently, a horse branding ceremony was held in Jarud Banner, Tongliao City, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of northern China, Adyrna national portal reports, citing People’s Daily.
This is an ancient Mongolian tradition involving herders and horsemen.
Every spring, a special ceremony is held for two-year-old horses. They are branded, and their manes are trimmed—a symbolic rite marking their coming of age.
The brand is applied to the horse’s thigh or shoulder, not only confirming its status but also serving as a mark of quality.
