Horse Insurance – What Every Horse Owner Should Know
By Tami George, Equine Insurance Specialist and Licensed Producer

Most of us consider our horses family members. But the bottom line is that they can also represent a substantial financial investment – especially in the world of competitive equestrian sports. Can you afford to lose your horse, or worse yet, to spend $5,000 to $10,000 on colic surgery or some other catastrophe, only to then lose the horse as well?

It used to be that the main reason people insured their horses was to prevent that scenario – the idea of an expensive colic surgery is more than most of us can deal with. With better technology and a deeper awareness on the part of horse owners, there are so many other events that can trigger a long, expensive line of vet bills. Insurance can defray many of these costs, from diagnostics to medications to rehab therapies. With this in mind, horse insurance can be one of the best deals around.
