At some point in a horse owners life, situations may occur that are unforeseen and require you to prove the value of your horse. This is when you need a professional horse appraiser who is compassionate and can advise you of the proper process and procedures.

Did you know that the IRS and Revenue Canada requires a certified appraisal to take a tax deduction greater than $5,000 on a donated horse? Did you know that an insurance company may decline to write a policy for the value you feel your horse is worth unless you have a certified appraisal to substantiate that valuation? Did you know that courts can order a certified appraisal in many types of legal proceedings including bankruptcies and divorces?
