Lip tattoo question

[icehorse]

My friend has a gelding she rescued and just noticed he has a lip tattoo that reads 1023. He is older, sound and up to date on everything including teeth. 16h sorrel. She said a beginner can ride him and he is ready for rehoming-$200 fee applies. Goes in arena or on trail.

Does anyone know what breed he might be with such a short number? My friend tells me that he's not a tbred. So would he be a standardbred maybe?

Thanks for your help.

Anyone interested in adopting him, he is located in Yreka, CA which is close to the Oregon border

Is it possible there is also a letter but it just has faded away? Standardbred, Thoroughbred and QH's all have letters and numbers in their tattoos. Arabians have the last six digits of their registration number.

A Standardbred has either a one letter and four numbers or two letters and three numbers. A QH will have four numbers followed by a letter.
