Hi Mike,

 

What is the age of the horse you are leasing?  Some of the equine insurance companies will not insure a horse over a certain age.  The one I deal with has a 15 year old cut off.

I have a friend "leasing" my horse for six months starting in April, as I'm heading to Baghdad for vacation (ha ha ha...)  In preparing to transfer Molly for the time I am gone, we have been discussing all aspects of caring for her and I have realized that it may be necessary to insure Molly's health in the even of major medical expense.  Should have done this sooner, anyway.

 

Can anyone comment on health insurance for horses?  What kinds of things should I make sure are covered?  What do I need to know?

 

Thank you,

 

Mike Lewis
