Fire/Hot branding uses a heated brand that kills the hair follicle without burning through the skin completely. This method has fallen out of favor with the equine industry and has even been outlawed in some European countries.
Freeze/Cold Branding uses a super-chilled brand that kills the pigment producing cells in hair follicles so that the hair will grow back white. This procedure is quick and virtually painless, some horses will even stand for freeze branding with minimal restraint.
