Coverage Types
Understand the eight core categories of equine insurance coverage — what each protects, how they work together, and which ones matter for your situation.
Mortality Insurance
Pays the agreed value of a horse in the event of death from covered causes — illness, injury, accident, or authorized humane destruction.
Major Medical & Surgical
Covers veterinary expenses for illness and injury — diagnostics, hospitalization, surgery, medications. Includes colic surgery, the #1 high-cost claim.
Loss of Use
Pays 50–60% of insured value when a horse becomes permanently unable to perform its insured use but does not die or require euthanasia.
Liability Coverage
Protects against third-party bodily injury or property damage claims arising from horse ownership, boarding, training, or events.
Transit / Shipping
Covers horses during transport. May be standalone or an endorsement to mortality. Includes loading/unloading and layover protection.
Stallion & Breeding
Specialized coverage addressing reproductive value, infertility risks, live foal guarantees, and breeding-specific liabilities.
Care, Custody & Control
For professionals responsible for others' horses — trainers, boarders, farriers. Covers damage or loss to horses in your care.
Farm, Ranch & Home
