Answering your most common questions.

How does equine mortality and major medical coverage work?
Mortality (life) insurance through EquiCare is available under two coverage types:

Full Mortality – life of the horse is insured against death arising from any accident or any sickness. Full Mortality is available for horses aged between 30 days and 20 years.

Named Perils - insures the life of the horse for death arising from a list of “named” perils detailed in your policy wording.

Major medical and surgical coverage can be purchased if the horse is insured under a Full Mortality policy. This extension will provide coverage if you incur unexpected veterinarian expenses for a life or health-threatening situation and includes surgical and non-surgical procedures.
