Horse Bill of Sale FAQ
What should a horse bill of sale include?
A horse bill of sale should include the horse's name, breed, age, sex, color, height, registration number, microchip number, a current negative Coggins test, vaccination history, sale price, and signatures. Copies of health records should accompany the bill of sale.
What is a Coggins test and is it required?
A Coggins test checks for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a contagious and incurable disease. Most states require a negative Coggins test dated within 6-12 months for any horse transport or sale. Always request current Coggins paperwork before completing a horse purchase.
How do I transfer horse registration papers?
Contact the breed registry (e.g., AQHA, USEF, Jockey Club) for their transfer process. Most require a transfer form, the original registration certificate, and a fee. The seller should note in the bill of sale when papers will be transferred, typically within 30 days.
Should I have a vet exam before buying a horse?
A pre-purchase veterinary exam (PPE) is strongly recommended for any significant horse purchase. The vet assesses soundness, health, and fitness for your intended use. Your bill of sale should reference that the buyer had the opportunity to arrange a PPE.
