I am going to cover what is needed for an in state inspection, and an out of state inspection (from a state that doesn't do inspections). I talked to the brand board to make sure I got all info needed so you have no questions left!<br /><br />When you are purchasing a horse from in Colorado, the seller of the horse is the only person that must be present for the inspection. The seller will need your information though, including; Full Name, Address, Phone Number. <br /><br />The above also goes for other states that require brand inspections for a horse to be transferred to Colorado.<br /><br />If a horse travels outside of 75 miles without an inspection (if you take the horse home prior to inspection) you can be fined and the horse/animal can be taken away. All horses must have an inspection every time they leave the state (selling out of state), no matter the circumstances. If you are transporting a horse anywhere on public roads you must have your brand inspection available to show state patrol, local law enforcement or livestock inspector. Another thing to note is that a Coggins test is required on all horses crossing state lines, in every state, no exceptions.<br /><br />If you are purchasing a horse from out of state, from a state that does not require brand inspections, there are a few more hoops to jump through, than if the horse has a brand inspection. A health certificate is required, for the move/travel out of state, and a legal bill of sale is also required. The Brand Inspector requires the following on the bill of sale, to make it a legal document.<br /><br />Requirements of a legal bill of sale are:<br /><br /> 1. Date of transaction<br /> 2. Sellers name, address and phone number.<br /> 3. Buyers name, address and phone number.<br /> 4. Complete description of animals being purchased. (Should include the number of head, color, sex, breed, markings, ear marks, hot or freeze brands etc.)<br /> 5. Signature of seller<br /> 6. Signature of buyer<br /> 7. Signature of witness residing in the county where the transaction takes place.<br /><br /><br />If you have any other questions regarding a brand inspection, you can contact the brand inspectors directly through their website @ <a href="http://www.colorado.gov/ag/brands" target="_blank">http://www.colorado.gov/ag/brands</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2683806568284985456-2977460716737536746?l=coloradohorseforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Una Schadenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683806568284985456.post-67354661025848062102009-03-25T08:19:00.002-06:002009-03-25T08:22:04.650-06:00First Off I want to welcome you to our blog!<br /><br />I decided to create this blog as a good place to write articles to help out fellow horse owners in Colorado.<br /><br />This blog will cover things from Brand Inspections, to general horse care, and any other topic I can think of that will help you in your horse ownership/purchase/care.<br /><br />If you have any specific requests for articles, just let me know and I will try to cover it ASAP!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />~Una<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2683806568284985456-6735466102584806210?l=coloradohorseforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Una Schadenoreply@blogger.com0
