I have Equisure for mortality and MM. The 2 big flaws in their MM policy are
1) exclusion for treatment of OCD (which my vet indicates is a leading cause
for surgery in horses) and 2) a 60 day max treatment period.

They exclude race horses, but as I do Limited Distance RIDES (pretty slowly
I might add) I would make the case that he is by no means a race horse.

Does anyone out there insurance their horse for major medical/surgery?  I
have called several companines and they will not insure endurance horses for
major medical/surgery.  They classify endurance horses as "race horses".
Reining horses, cutting horses, event horses, hunter/jumpers can get major
medical/surgical but not endurance horses.  So that means you cann't get
colic surgeries covered.  Any reference would be greatly appreciated.  A
side note, doesn't seem like insurance company rates are set by
knowledgeable horse people (but I am a little cranky right now about the
whole thing).  thanks for any info.
