BRAND INSPECTION and certification ~ Several of our Western and Midwestern states require a brand inspection be done. This assures the horse owner and buyer that the horse's brand is legally transferring ownership. This process can be time consuming and is ONLY necessary if the state of origin requires this.

The states requiring such inspections are; Arizona, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon.
