Full Mortality -- This policy is essentially life insurance for your horse. It provides coverage in the event the insured horse dies from accident, injury, illness or disease, and also includes coverage for humane destruction (the horse is put down for humane reasons), as well as theft. The policy will by design cover the horse while it is in the continental United States and Canada. Coverage can extend to other countries as well, with prior notice and additional premium paid. Coverage is available for horses in good physical shape between the ages of 24 hours and 18 years. An eligible horse is also provided Emergency Colic Surgery coverage as part of the mortality policy, at no cost. The limit is 50% of the value of the horse, with a maximum of $5,000. While this would most likely only cover part of the costs associated with colic surgery, it is an important benefit. Please note: if your horse has a history of colic problems, either medical or surgical, this coverage will not apply.

Agreed Value -- Provides you with the assurance of knowing the amount you would collect in the event of a loss.
12 Month Extension-- In the event of an accident, sickness, or disease immediately reported during the policy period, insurance coverage is extended for up to 365 days after expiration and until such time as the accident, sickness, or disease is no longer life threatening.

Major Medical -- This coverage will help reimburse you for veterinary costs in the event your horse suffers an accident, injury, illness, or disease during the policy period. Coverage is available for horses between the ages of 24 hours and 14 years. Coverage limits of $7,000 through $15,000 are available, and premiums start at $200.00 dollars and increase accordingly. Some restrictions to limits may apply depending on the insured value of the animal. The Major Medical premium is fully earned, which means that if you cancel the policy mid-term, there is no refund on this premium. This coverage is only available in conjunction with Full Mortality.
Loss of Use -- In the event your horse is permanently unable to perform its insured use, this coverage will reimburse you for a portion of the horse's insured value. The range and availability of the coverage depends on the horse's age and discipline, and a full veterinary exam (similar to a pre-purchase exam) may be required.

Deductible Policy -- Many large schedules contain enough horses to qualify for a deductible program. Substantial premium savings may be possible, depending on the level of deductible (self insurance) the client is willing to accept and the premium rate can be set much lower than the full mortality rate. Once the deductible has been exhausted, any further claims are paid in full. Minimum deductible amounts are also determined by the total value and mix of the schedule. The deductible policy is rated by the composition of the schedule, the claims history and other important variables. These policies can also offer a renewal credit and substantial savings.
Air Transit Coverage -- Air travel includes the unfortunate possibility of animals becoming uneasy while in route. Air Transit coverage provides the insured with important protection in the event a horse is determined to be of danger to the safety of the aircraft, crew, passengers or cargo and must be destroyed. Sometimes referred to as the berserk clause.
