Wild horses called "Misaki-uma" are inhabited Cape Toi in the southern part of Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan. Although wild horse, it needs health care. It is a difficult task for aging management association members to monitor the vast habitat range of horses and to identify individual during routine management. In addition, the current methods of individual identification because of contact with horses or to requiring specialized knowledge, ordinary people cannot perform it. In this paper we propose a method for automatic individual identification of wild horses without contact using an RGB camera.
