Features
The Livestock Mortality Policy is a Life Insurance policy on your horse,
with the Insured as beneficiary. It is an "All-Risk" policy that will cover death
from any cause, subject to certain exclusions that are stated in the policy. We will
also pay you if your horse is stolen.
We will pay the actual value of the horse at the time of the accident or illness causing its death, not exceeding the value specified in the schedule. If your horse is sick or injured before the policy expires, and you have reported this to us, we will extend your coverage for 90 days and pay your claim should the horse die within that time from the same cause. We will issue a Livestock Mortality Policy provided the insured horse is in sound health at the inception of the policy. We also assume you will provide proper care and attention for the horse and that you will employ a veterinarian at your expense if the horse suffers any illness, disease, lameness, injury, accident or physical disability. Also, if your horse dies, you are required to arrange and pay for an autopsy.

Surgical Endorsement
Should your insured horse require surgery, this endorsement will
cover the costs. We will pay reasonable and customary charges for surgical treatment,
including anesthesia, necessitated by accident, injury or illness. In addition to
the surgery, we will pay up to 35% of the surgical fee for the horse's hospitalization,
X-rays, medication and lab tests that are necessitated as a result of the surgery.
There is a $50 deductible for each claim, and limits of $2,500, $5,000, $7,500, and
$10,000 per animal per year depending on the coverage you select.. Certain exclusions
apply, including racing and castration.
Major Medical Endorsement
This insurance reimburses for veterinarian's fees for surgery and major illnesses and disease. We will pay reasonable and customary charges necessitated by accident, injury or illness for your insured horse. There is a $250 deductible for each claim, and a $5,000 or $7,500 limit per animal per year. This coverage will help you control veterinary expenses for unforeseen events dealing with the health of your animal.
Loss of Use Endorsement.
Loss of Use Endorsement
If your horse becomes permanently incapable of fulfilling the functions for which it is used as stated on your policy but its condition does not necessitate destruction for humane reasons, you may suffer a financial loss.
If you purchase the Loss of Use endorsement we will pay you 75% of the insured value of the disabled horse.
We have the option of letting it be destroyed or taking possession and title of the horse. If you want to keep the horse, we will pay you 50% of the horse's insured value. If the accident, illness or disease your horse suffers occurs during the policy term and is reported to us during the policy term, we will still pay you after the policy expires, provided the permanence of the disability becomes apparent within 90 days after the policy expires.
