Why You Might Need an Equine Appraisal

Insurance Policies & Claims

To obtain appropriate coverage or support a loss claim, insurance providers often require a certified valuation to document your horse’s true market worth.

Divorce & Asset Division

Horses are considered property in divorce proceedings. An appraisal provides a fair market value for equitable distribution of assets.

Bankruptcy & Financial Disclosure

Appraisals are used to declare assets during bankruptcy filings or financial audits, ensuring accurate reporting of equine property.

Loans & Collateral

In some lending situations, a horse may be used as collateral. A professional valuation helps support the loan application process.

Estate Planning & Probate

Appraisals help determine the value of horses for inheritance planning or estate settlement, offering clarity during a sensitive time.

Donations & Tax Deductions

When donating a horse to a rescue, school, or therapy program, a certified appraisal is often required to claim the fair market value on your taxes.

Sales & Purchase Decisions

A full appraisal provides buyers and sellers with a clear understanding of a horse’s value, ensuring fair pricing and peace of mind in the transaction.

Breeding Programs & Business Planning

Understanding a horse’s value helps inform breeding choices, pricing of offspring or stud services, and overall business direction.
