HORSE - MORTALITY AND MAJOR MEDICAL

Livestock Mortality is a Life Insurance policy for your horse, with you as a beneficiary. It is an All-Risk policy, which will cover death from any cause, subject to certain exclusions which are stated in the policy, it would also pay you if your horse is stolen. It would pay the actual value of the horse at the time of the accident or illness causing its death, not exceeding the value specified in the schedule.

The number one question we get is usually regarding the value of your horse. Your horse can be insured for its fair market value, or less. Fair market value is generally considered to be the amount you could expect to receive if you sold your horse today, with that said, this amount will have to be agreed by the insurance company underwriter using the Equine Value Justification form.

The value usually starts with the price you paid for the horse and goes from there. With a recent purchase, the purchase price would be used (and for foals, two times their stud fee). If you have owned the horse for some time and it has increased in value, you have the option to insure for more than the purchase price (we'll ask for justification - show records, training costs, breeding records).

Keeping your horse healthy requires good nutrition, exercise, affection, and good medical care. Medical care for your horse can get expensive, but Equine Major Medical Insurance can help defray these costs and can be added to a Mortality policy. (Mortality coverage can be purchased on it's own without Medical coverage or at a discount with Medical coverage. Medical coverage is an addition added to a Mortality policy and as such cannot be purchased without Mortality. (See Valuable Optional Cover Below)

So How Much Does this all cost......

PRIVATE HORSE OWNERS LIABILITY

We represent some of the top insurance companies in North America, allowing us to offer some of the most economical rates available. Please

EQUINE CARE, CUSTODY & CONTROL

Equine Care, Custody, or Control insurance is an essential coverage for all horse operations which involve non-owned horses, including boarding, breeding and training.  Standard Equine Liability Insurance excused coverage for horses in your Care, Custody or Control. 

This coverage fills this void by promising to pay all sums you are legally obligated to pay for damage to non-owned horses in your Care, Custody or Control.  This coverage does not apply to horses that you own or lease.  Mortality Insurance is designed for these needs.

Your policy would cover up to the chosen policy limits for the injury, theft or death of the horses in your Care, Custody or Control.


Please print and email or fax us the application for a quote.

HORSE & RIDING CLUBS

Riding clubs and their varied functions pose unique liability exposures, which need specially designed coverage tailored to these needs.  The Riding Club Liability Program has the flexibility to be custom tailored to cover such exposures as premises liability for meetings and fund-raisers, trail rides, boarding, clinics and public events. (i.e. shows and parades).  The policy can be written on a short-term basis for one-time events or annually.

Please take into consideration that the Riding Club Liability Program does NOT protect members from each other and it DOES NOT pay claims or property damage happening to a member.  Every individual member MUST carry their own personal liability insurance, including Medical, Accident, and Disability Insurance.  In some cases, Home Owners Insurance may provide some protection and each individual should review their policies to have a better understanding.
