Document background
The Equine Sales Contract is a vital legal instrument used in Belgium for facilitating the sale and purchase of horses, whether for private, commercial, or professional purposes. This document becomes necessary whenever there is a transfer of ownership of a horse, ensuring that both parties' interests are protected under Belgian law. It encompasses essential elements required by the Belgian Civil Code and specific equine regulations, including detailed horse identification, health status, warranties, and transfer conditions. The contract is particularly important given the high value of many horse transactions and the specific legal requirements surrounding animal sales in Belgium and the broader EU context. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the terms of sale, conditions, and any specific agreements between parties.
