Frequently Asked Questions
An emergency colic surgery endorsement is generally included at no additional premium, provided that the horse does not have a history of gastrointestinal issues. Coverage ranges from $3,000-$5,000 depending on the carrier and horse's value.
Major Medical endorsements are intended to cover non-routine vet care such as accidents, injuries, illness, disease and/or surgical procedures.
The premium is based on a percentage of the agreed value to be insured and also depends upon the horse’s age, breed and discipline. Our rates range from 2.9% to 4.5% depending on the factors above. Minimum premiums start at $150-$250 depending on the carrier.
Once a horse reaches 16 years old, it is considered “over age”. Over-aged horses may be insurable at higher rates and/or limited coverages.
All Risk Mortality (ARM) covers accidental death or death by an illness. We also cover 100% of the value for theft and 100% for a humane destruction.
Yes, by providing the proper documentation such as show records, training records and/or a trainer statement we can look at increasing values once you have owned the horse for at least 6 months.
It is the value determined by you and the carrier underwriter based on purchase price, show records, training, and other relevant data. Once agreed to, there are no further questions in the event of a death claim except for questions related to foul play.
It depends on the severity of the condition. Underwriting will review the condition and medical report from your vet and make a determination based on the circumstances surrounding the case. In some cases, it will be a temporary exclusion, in others it will be permanent.
