Hold Your Horses: Ensuring Equine Purchase and Sale Agreements Comply with Applicable Laws and Protect the Parties Monday, March 8, 2021
In addition to the requirements of Rule 5H-26.004, discussed in a prior GT Advisory on the Florida Bill of Sale Rule, equine buyers and sellers should consider including various provisions in their equine purchase and sales agreements.
Among other things, these agreements generally should:
Sufficiently identify the horse. Different jurisdictions may impose varying requirements, but generally, the horse’s name, age, sire and dam, and breed registry status should be included.
Sufficiently identify the owner or seller, as well as the purchaser, or their agents, if applicable, including their respective contact information.
