How to Report a Claim:
Equine Mortality
*Any time your horse is seen or treated by a vet for anything other than routine or preventive care, it is your contractual responsibility to notify the insurance company immediately.*
Regardless of how small or inexpensive the injury or illness may appear initially, it is very important that you report the event to the insurance company for the following reasons:
-
A minor event may escalate into a serious, or even fatal, condition. If you do not report the initial onset of the injury or illness, your claim could be declined.
-
You will be required to disclose to the insurance company upon renewal if your horse was treated by a veterinarian for anything other than routine or preventative care.
-
Anything your horse is treated for without notifying the insurance company, whether through a covered claim or not, may be considered a pre‐existing condition and excluded. That decision is up to the underwriter and is reviewed on case by case basis.
