Equine Bill of Sale
For horse sellers, breeders, and agents who need clear, legally sound proof of a completed sale.
This Equine Bill of Sale provides professional-grade documentation of the transfer of ownership, confirmation of payment, and allocation of liability. It creates a reliable paper trail and protects both parties from misunderstandings or disputes after the sale.
Whether you're selling an open-level head horse or a bomb-proof kids’ horse, this document clearly defines what was sold, how and when possession changed hands, and who bears responsibility moving forward.
Use this Bill of Sale only after or in conjunction with the completed transaction. If the sale is still in progress or subject to conditions, use the Horse Purchase and Sale Agreement instead.
Crafted by an attorney with real-world experience, this template delivers solid legal protection without the fluff. It's written in plain English, with enforceable language where it counts.
