Would a seller be offended if they were asked for a receipt when purchasing a horse?
Also, what sort of wording should a receipt have?

you should always get a receipt (well I have when buying or selling a horse)
Normally say "NAME sold as seen for £xx" and then anything you need to know ie a pony I bought had to be lead on a bridle so that was added on

I wrote my own and just got the seller to sign it when I bought mine.
It went something like:
Receipt for the sale of Molly, Black 14.3hh cob mare. 14 Years old.
Sold for £xxxx.xx
Date xx/xx/xxxx
Sold as Sound and healthy.
Signed (Seller)
Signed (Purchaser)

No, you should always get a receipt - it could just be as simple as saying " £1 received for Dobbin, a 14.2 well mannered bay pc pony with a blaze and two white socks"
It should state the price paid and a description- both physical and behavioural, and state any problems the horse is known to have eg weaves or has history of laminitis
If you are paying more or have more specific requirements then you may want a more detailed receipt and it is basically your only comeback in the event of a problem in a private sale

Always get a receipt. They won't be offended as it is what is usually done.

Also freezemark details or microchip number and passport number.
I have always made two copies, both parties to sign each and left one with the seller.

that's what I did when selling George 2 weeks ago. I copied his advert of the internet and put it at the top of the receipt so that it clearly stated what he was like

I agree with everybody above, you should always get one. We always use a standard Horse Sale Agreement Contract like the one below - there are lots if you google them! Also, we add the description written in the original advert into the description of the horse section and document anything said to you by the seler that influenced your decision about purchasing eg "good to load" "no stable vices" etc.

i always do receipts when selling horses- a copy for each party.
name of horse, age, basic description, purchase prices and i always include 'sold as seen.'
