What is an appraisal?

An appraisal is the act of estimating cost, determining value, forecasting earnings, or providing a non-monetary opinion such as whether or not an item is genuine or fake based on supporting facts.

What information is needed for the appraisal?

• Purpose for appraisal

• Copy of pedigree (preferably 4 generations)

• Stallion: blood type, stud report, offspring

• Mare: record of foals, sires of foals, sire's stud fee, show record of offspring, etc

• Show record and winnings (if applicable)

• Previous purchase details

• Veterinarian certificate of health

• Training record

• Any other data or photos relevant to determining value

A complete appraisal will include a site visit which will involve a physical assessment and photographing of the subject equine.

How long does it take to get the appraisal report?

After the completion of my physical inspection of the subject equine, within approximately 7 to 14 days, you will be presented with two professional, bound reports meeting USPAP standards that are admissible in court. A pre-purchase appraisal, however, may be completed sooner if necessary.

Factors That Do NOT Affect Your Horse’s Value

• Emotional Attachment

• Perceived Value

• Direct or indirect costs of ownership (international shipping, maintenance, veterinary bills and financial needs)
