Horse appraisal in Colorado.
Our team appraises horses all over Colorado, and in every other state besides. We see mostly hunter/jumpers and NCHA horses here, though plenty of NRHA horses cross the desk too, and the process doesn't change from one to the next.
In Colorado, there are a number of 501(c)3 non-profit programs that accept donation horses. Colorado has many equine therapy programs as well as Colorado State University.
Questions we get about Colorado
- Is a donation to a Colorado therapeutic program deductible?
- If the organization is a qualified 501(c)3 and the deduction exceeds 5,000 dollars, it needs a qualified appraisal attached to Form 8283. We sign the appraiser declaration and the organization signs its part.
- Does altitude or terrain affect value here?
- Not directly, but the Colorado market pays for horses that are genuinely quiet on trail and in traffic, and that trait carries a premium here that it doesn't carry everywhere.
