Massachusetts Bill of Sale for Conveyance of Horse - Horse Equine Forms
What is this form?
The Bill of Sale for Conveyance of Horse is a legal document used to transfer ownership of a horse from the seller to the buyer. This form specifies that the horse is sold "as is," meaning there are no warranties, express or implied, regarding its condition.

- Purchase price of the horse being sold.
- Description of the horse, including breed and other identifying information.
- Disclaimer of warranties, indicating the horse is sold in its current condition.
- Right for the buyer to have a pre-purchase examination by a veterinarian.
When to use this document
This form is needed in situations where a horse is being sold without warranties. It is particularly useful for private sales between individuals where the seller does not wish to take responsibility for any potential issues with the horse.
