- Markings
- Registration number and registry, if the horse is registered
- Microchip number, brand or tattoo, if any

Frequently asked questions
What does a horse bill of sale usually include?
The template has lines for the horse's name, breed, sex, color, age or date of birth, markings, any registration, microchip number, brand or tattoo, and its condition and health as the seller describes them, plus the price, the date and both signatures.
Does the horse template have a notary section?
No. Below the lines for the horse, its registration and its identification, the template ends with the Sale part and the signature lines. This page does not cover rules for horse sales.
Can I use it for a pony or a donkey?
The lines describe any horse, pony or donkey: name, breed, markings, registration and identification. The document names the horse in its heading, its opening sentence and several of its lines, and the Word file can be edited to change them before printing.
