Our appraisal reports comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and adhere to the Appraisal Standards Board's code of ethics, providing impartial, well-supported valuations. They are relied upon in legal matters internationally, and we meet the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements for qualified appraisers when applicable.
Equine appraisals are most commonly developed using the Sales Comparison Approach, which compares the subject horse to similar horses that sold during the same time period. By analyzing comparable sales, a Fair Market Value is determined. Because equine values are influenced by market conditions and industry trends, an appraisal reflects the horse's value as of a specific effective date.
The End Result
Clients receive a comprehensive, professionally prepared appraisal report that typically includes a detailed description of the horse, photographs, video, conformation and gait analysis, pedigree and performance information, and supporting market data to substantiate the valuation and conclusions.
