Since the discussion was started in regards to the Big Horn I believe, I
looked up the info on Wyoming. As I read it, you do not need a brand
inspection to get the horse IN to the state or one of it's counties,  but it
seems it is for getting the horse back OUT of the state. And each county has
inspectors, that may check you as you cross county lines.

Wyoming is one of several states that require Brand Inspection for the
movement, or change of ownership of livestock. In general, Wyoming requires
a Brand Inspection whenever livestock are moved across a county line or the
state line, or when livestock ownership is changed.
The only times livestock do not need an inspection are when a livestock
owner has a Wyoming Livestock Board issued Intrastate Accustomed range
permit where the livestock are pre-approved to moved from a designated
location in one county to a designated location in another county, or when
the owner has obtained a Form G transportation permit that allows the
livestock to be transported to a Wyoming approved livestock market where a
Wyoming authorized Brand Inspection will take place.
Possession of a Wyoming Livestock Board Interstate Accustomed range permit
does not exempt Livestock from Inspection. An Interstate Accustomed Range
Permit allows the livestock owner to transport livestock from a designated
location in one state to a designated location in another state, known as an
accustomed range at a reduced Inspection fee. Any animals that do not return
to the state of Wyoming are subject to pay the full amount of any applicable
Brand Inspection, Predator Board and Beef Council fees.
