Appraisals: a sampler:

DonationFor example, you have been playing polo for several years but you are finished with the sport. You want to donate your horse to a university polo program. What's it worth?
.
Price in an Unfamiliar MarketYou saw the perfect event horse listed in a national magazine in the classified. The asking price seems high. You don't know anything about the east coast. Is that an appropriate price for that horse where it lives and competes? Is that an appropriate price for a similar horse located in your area? You want to make an offer.

Death by InjuryYour horse just ran through a fence and was severely injured. You have to put him down. Your insurance company wants to know what to pay you.
