I only know of this one:

Those are Breed Society brands (mostly Warmbloods). Nothing looks VF-y to me, though.
What breed was the horse? That may provide a clue...

I'm next door to useless when it comes to QH matters....but I do recall reading that most stock horse brands are unique to their breeders, and are registered with local authorities rather than a national organization.
Still, I would imagine that the AQHA considers them identifying marks?
Anyone?
Not the first time I've run into this, though - a QH I rode at school had a '2' branded on his flank. No one knew why. I used to joke that perhaps he was the equine equivalent of a #2 pencil, and would improve his riders' test scores....never worked for me, my tests were still crap.

In that time frame the only similar name I can find in AQHA rcds. is Miss Clarks Hand 1981 ch f x Clark's Wimpy - LA Pajuela x El Rey Rojo, bred by W.D. Woods, Tulsa, OK, last owner of rcd. Cody Neal, Jay, OK, to whom she was sold 1/9/1986.

Don't know about other states, but in TX brands used for livestock, incl. horses, are supposed to be registered w/ the county clerk. If there are any statewide or national livestock brand registries I'm unaware of them.
Fwiw, the running W is used by the King Ranch. I've never heard of the VF being used by a family member other than the Matzes.

Yes, they're supposed to be shown on the registration ctf., as are tattoos and scars. The AQHA posts the info on the papers at no charge if you send them in w/ photo or diagram + date and manner of acquisition. (In practice, I don't think I've actually seen a scar noted on papers - nor have I rushed to notify the AQHA whenever one was acquired. )

I did not know that, but now I realize why she looked so familiar during their Derby run. Dee Dee looks a lot like Helen, I think.
