Buyer or Seller’s Representative - During the course of either buying or selling horses, the buyer’s or seller’s interest can be represented either in partnership or on an absentee basis. If you are seeking a horse or advice on the purchase of a horse, let our agent[s] represent you without the emotional commitment to the acquisition. A very logical, non-emotional approach can be taken to acquire the facts about the horse[s], assess the horse’s potential uses, while providing fair representation. We work for either the buyer or seller, but never both on the sale and purchase of a horse.

​

Written Assessments & Evaluations - Establishing a ‘real’ market value can be an important need for buying, selling, insuring, and any other type of value assessment. To properly establish a fair market value the use[s] of the horse must be established, and then a careful review of the horse’s conformation, pedigree, training, performance, competition accomplishments, breeding history, and veterinary history. Combined, these provide an accurate overview of the horse’s value.

​

None of these processes exempt the very important pre-purchase veterinary exam (PPE).

​

Arbitration – As challenges arise between buyer-seller and lessor-lessee, arbitration can assist in bringing resolution to the disputed issue providing mutual agreement conclusion.

Hipsley & Associates has been dealing in the acquisition and sale of horses for decades within the USA and internationally. Not to be overlooked in these transactions, are the issues associated with the purchase of frozen semen, stallion service certificates and breeding contracts, and the all important bill of sale.

The expertise extends to matters related to the leasing of horses for performance and breeding purposes.
