Why hire a professional equine appraiser?

An appraisal provides an unbiased monetary value for property after market research and analysis. We provide qualified horse appraisals that comply with IRS and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) regulations. Along with equine appraisals, we can provide valuations on horse-related tack and equipment.

EquiAppraisal services may be used for:

  • Litigation and expert consultation services

  • Transaction disputes

  • Contract disputes

  • Divorce and estate settlements

  • Equine injuries and deaths

  • Fraud

  • Insurance policies and claims

  • Purchases, sales and syndications

  • Bank collateral

  • Tax audits and inquiries

  • Donations and IRS purposes

Are you donating a horse worth $5,000 or more? If so, you need a qualified appraiser! According to the IRS, “taxpayers are required to obtain a qualified appraisal for donated property for which a deduction of more than $5,000 is claimed.”
