Why Professional Equine Appraisals is the Wise Choice

Qualified Professional Services

I have more than thirty-five years experience in the equine industry - owning, training, showing, brokering and appraising. I’ve been told over and over again that my forte is my insight. I bring an expert eye to every project.   

Equine appraisal is decidedly different from most personal property valuations and should only be done by a recognized professional.  Besides accreditation or certification, a professional appraiser requires first-hand experience and in-depth knowledge of equine, specifics of the breed/discipline being evaluated, a thorough understanding of the industry, market influences, and the critical variables that influence value. 

I am able to appraise most breeds and disciplines.

Good Judgement and Accountability are Imperative in this Business 

As a qualified professional my responsibility is to determine an ethical and equitable valuation for the protection of owners, buyers, insurance carriers and lending institutions.  To fulfil that objective requires a keen eye, extensive research, due diligence, analysis and adherence to industry standards.   That's my mandate  and more importantly my commitment to you.

All Appraisals are Comprehensive

The type of appraisal  we perform is determined by intended use of the appraisal.  All appraisals are comprehensive, including thorough research, meticulous examination of the horse and where necessary may utilize veterinary exams and statements from trainers or other experts.  All details are compiled into a formal report.

This report normally includes a full description of the equine with photographs, an analysis of conformation and gait, documentation as to registration, bloodline, performance records (where applicable)  and any additional data that supports the conclusions and valuation.

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.

Our work with attorneys, accountants, and insurance companies indicates how essential a professional equine appraisal is.  Simply a good business practice to protect your financial investment.
