Water paperwork
Gather water right numbers, irrigation company share certificates, and assessment records so buyers can verify what they’re getting.

SELL HORSE PROPERTY
Get paid foreverything you built.
The average agent can’t tell you what your pastures, barn, hay shed, water rights, and fencing are worth—or how to reach the buyers willing to pay for them.
Utah horse property. It’s what we do.
Ordinary home comparables miss what horse buyers pay for. Ben accounts for the barn, arena, irrigation, animal rights, and development potential—then puts your property in front of a network of horse buyers, including buyers from other states and countries.
- Document water rights and shares before you list.
- Show the facilities the way a horse owner will use them.
- Market to horse buyers, not just the general public.
A PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW
From the first question
to the next right step.
Start where you are. Work through the decisions together.
- 01
Walk the property together.
Barn, stalls, arena, pasture, irrigation, fencing, and equipment—what stays, what goes, and what needs attention before photos.
- 02
Build the value case.
Compare horse property sales and account for the water, facilities, and acreage that ordinary comps ignore.
- 03
Market to the right buyers.
Photography of the facilities and land, listing details that explain the water and animal rights, and outreach through Ben’s horse-industry network.
- 04
Negotiate and close.
Handle water conveyance, equipment and inclusions, inspections, and possession timing so nothing gets lost at closing.
LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
Get ready before you list.
A little preparation helps buyers see the full value.
Facilities
Make stalls, gates, waterers, and fencing safe and working. Small repairs protect the price.
Inclusions
Decide early about panels, waterers, hay, and equipment, and list them clearly.
Timing
Plan around moving your horses, the irrigation season, and when the pasture shows best.
Will a regular appraisal value my barn and water?
Not always well. Appraisers rely on comparable sales, and horse amenities can be hard to compare. Ben prepares a pricing review that shows buyers—and appraisers—the facilities, water, and land behind the price.
Do water rights transfer automatically when I sell?
Not always. Some water rights are tied to the land, irrigation company shares often transfer separately by certificate, and ownership records usually need updating with the Utah Division of Water Rights after closing. Confirm the details with your title company.
How does Ben reach horse buyers?
Through his network in the horse world—buyers, trainers, and the barn and equipment customers Equine Estates serves—plus MLS exposure and listing materials that explain the facilities and water.
