How are horses valued for divorce?

Horses can be high-value assets, particularly if they have participated in professional racing or equestrian events, or if they are of a certain breed or from a prestigious pedigree. Other factors such as age, health, training, and competition record (if any) will also affect a horses value. 

Issues relating to horse ownership and the relevant expenses to maintain a horse are increasingly arising in HNW and UHNW divorces. For example, in Y v Z [2024] EWFC 4 the wife sought a sum of £602,400 to purchase new horses for the parties children, minus the proceeds of sale gained from the sale of the previous horses. 

To determine the value of a horse, a comparative market analysis looking at the sale price of similar horses, will be undertaken.  

If you are considering or going through a divorce and you or your spouse own high-value horses, contact Vardags today for a free initial consultation with one of our expert divorce solicitors.
