About the Horse Bill of Sale

A horse bill of sale documents the private sale of an equine β€” horse, pony, donkey, or mule. Unlike vehicle bills of sale, horse bills focus on identification through breed, color, markings, registration number, and microchip number rather than a VIN. Health disclosures are particularly important: buyers should receive a current Coggins test (EIA test) result, and the bill of sale should note any known health conditions, vices, or prior injuries.

When to Use This Form

Use the horse bill of sale for the private sale of any equine. Include whether registration papers, Coggins certificate, or other health records are being transferred. Note whether the horse is insured and whether the policy will be transferred.

Legal Tip

Always obtain and review a current Coggins test (negative EIA test) before transporting a horse across state lines β€” it is required by law. Document the test result date and laboratory in the bill of sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a bill of sale to sell a horse?
No law requires a horse bill of sale in any U.S. state, but it is strongly recommended. A written agreement protects both parties from post-sale disputes about the horse's health, temperament, or registration status.
Should a horse bill of sale include a veterinary pre-purchase exam?
If a pre-purchase exam was conducted, note the veterinarian's name, date, and findings in the bill of sale. This creates a record of the horse's health at the time of sale and can be important evidence in any dispute.
How do I describe a horse on a bill of sale?
Use: registered name (if applicable), barn/call name, breed, color, markings (white socks, blaze, star, etc.), sex (mare/gelding/stallion), age, registration number (AQHA, APHA, etc.), and microchip number if available.
