APPRAISAL PROCESS
All appraisals are kept strictly confidential. Each appraisal is
also tailored to the specific needs of the owner based on the intended
use. The price of the appraisal therefore varies based on the
location of the physical inspection, the level of detail required in the
Summary Analysis Report, number of copies needed of the report, the
amount of research needed, among other key factors. The following
is a basic outline of what to expect.
- Fill out the Initial Request Form
This can be printed from the web site and mailed, faxed or emailed
to the appraiser. The completed form will provide general
information to the Appraiser about the contact information of the
owner/trainer, the intended use of the appraisal, and basic
information about the horse being appraised. If available the
owner may also include copies of registration papers, health
records, training records, breeding records, show records, pictures,
owner and/or trainer statements, as well as a signed authorization
giving permission for the appraiser to verify any of the data.
- If the request is accepted an agreement will be provided stating
the work request and any agreed upon terms. Examples of terms
may include:
- location and appointment time of physical evaluation
- date the appraisal report is needed
- price of the appraisal
- Return the signed agreement along with the required $100 deposit
- The physical evaluation can be performed onsite (up to 150 miles)
or at Hart to Hart Stables. Travel expenses will apply for
onsite evaluations. Current coggins, health certificates and
up to date vaccinations will be required to bring the horse to our
facility. At the physical evaluation pictures or video may
need to be taken if not provided with the initial request.
Then the appraiser will observe the horse looking at disposition,
soundness, and eye appeal. For show horses or prospects it may
also be beneficial to see the horse work under tack.
