Horse Bill of Sale example — FAQ

Do I need a bill of sale to buy a horse?

It is strongly recommended. A horse bill of sale documents the price, the horse’s identity, and any health representations, and it supports transferring registration papers for a registered horse.

What should a horse bill of sale include?

The horse’s registered or barn name, breed, sex, age, color and markings, height, registration number and association, any microchip, brand, or tattoo, the price, and both signatures.

Does a horse bill of sale need a vet exam?

It is not required, but buyers often make the sale contingent on a pre-purchase exam (PPE). You can note the PPE result or an "as-is" term in the document.

Can a bill of sale be handwritten?

Yes. A handwritten bill of sale is legal as long as it includes the required details — the parties, a description of the item, the price, the date, and both signatures. Using a structured template simply makes sure nothing important is left out.
