I think firstly you need to speak to your solicitor and find out whether your horses are infact gifts or weather they are joint assests, no one else can really do this. Which is advice you have received from this forum and not something you had thought of before, so despite what others have said there has been a benefit to asking for advice on a public forum.
Secondary if they are found to be joint assets you need to get a local dealer,vet or breeder to complete a valuation (similar to if you require to justify a value for insurance purposes). That is then hopefully put forward on the Form E as the value
When a friend of mine got divorced her horses were classed as joint assests, she got a valuation from the breeder which was about £6000 for both. When it came to the settlement she kept the horses as part of her assets and the ex got £3000 above what is settlement was agreed at to cover his share of the horses, if that makes sense.
