Count on us for comprehensive appraisals, due diligence,  good judgement and accountability - Protect your financial investment

A professional appraisal done by a qualified expert in the equine field is vital to all horse owners. Unexpected situations may occur that require you to prove the value of your horse.  For example, you certainly do not want to be under-insured in a situation where mortality, major medical, surgical and loss of use occurs.  This could result in significant financial loss for you.

In fact we highly recommend that you obtain a professional appraisal prior to obtaining replacement value insurance on your valuable equine livestock.  Read more.

As dictated by the intended use of the appraisal, determined values may include Fair Market Value, Replacement Value, Wholesale Value, Liquidation Value, and Consignment Value, and Cull Value.

All evaluations result from meticulous research, a thorough examination of the horse, its conformation, gait, bloodline, performance  records and where necessary may utilize veterinary exams and statements from trainers or other experts. 

All details are compiled into a comprehensive formal report with any additional data that supports the conclusions and valuation. 

All appraisals are confidential.

We are able to do valuations for most breeds and disciplines.

Our work within the business and professional sector has provided us with additional insights into ways to help horse owners protect themselves and their investment by the wise utilization of qualified equine appraisals.

Use Caution*

Please remember that appraisal values are time sensitive.  Economic conditions and trends in the horse industry do change and an appraisal value may increase or decrease significantly in a short period of time or be affected by a change in locations.

Ensure an Appraisal Serves Your Current Needs 

Please be advised that conducting your own research and analysis may not be acceptable for your intended purpose.  Only a written report prepared by a qualified/accredited/certified professional appraiser may serve as a legal document or be accepted by lending institutions or insurance underwriters. 

We recommend that you do not use one appraisal for more than one dissimilar purposes.  For example an appraisal prepared for a bankruptcy trustee is entirely inappropriate for use in determining replacement value of an equine for insurance purposes.
