I would say that is cool to have in your horses but brands have pourpose in game. It's to keep track of which animals are yours and born in your Estate. Imagine that you have a bunch of good animals of a specific player and they still breed those horses. You could be friends and keep in touch of the sales of that barn. It's usefull too If you want to avoid inbreeding.

I would love this!

I'm personally not a fan, I just don't think it looks good. I would really like to see a list of horses with my brand tho. Sometimes I get curious about how the horses I've bred and sold have been doing and theres no real way to see that.

I'd really just like a list of home bred horses. I try to track down foals sometimes to see how my babies are doing ;;

I agree with reddrookk as well. 

I can't imagine how much work that would be. Having individual layers for every single breed with individual custom brands? 

I support 100%. Let the Artists worry about how hard it would be to add.

That's kind of a rude thing to say. They are a small team and only just hired a new artist and have enough they have to do. It takes a lot of time and money to create art for the game. It's fine if it's something you want to support but your extra comment was a bit unnecessary. 

i don't mind how the brands are right now, i like seeing all the different kinds of brands people have and it would be great to have them linked to a list of horses with the same brand. but i think it would be off-putting to see a horse with a png of phone emojis hovering over their side, would probably turn me away from buying branded horses lol.
