  • BRAND INSPECTION and certification ~ Several Western and Midwestern states require a brand inspection to be done. This assures the horse owner and buyer that the horses brand is legally transferring ownership. This process can be time consuming and is ONLY necessary if the state of origin requires it. Please allow enough time as the laws are very strict in some states. The states requiring such inspections (That I'm aware of) are:
    Arizona Nebraska Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana & Oregon
  • Shipping boots and blanket(s) if desired, must be on horse prior to loading time.
