Isn't this the way with all insurance--- they'll only give it to you if 
you never need to use it--- and if you do, you get cancelled or your 
rates double for the next 3 years... My son has had 3 fender benders 
(one done by his girlfriend---ex now-- and one was a hit and run) and we 
couldn't claim any of them without risk of losing our ranch policy. 
Insurance companies are cancelling right and left. I think I'll look 
into US Rider--- if they will actually pay on a claim without crucifying 
you for it.

I was told by AAA that the insurance for the horse trailer was extra and
you had to qualify for it. Since my son (on our membership at the time)
had already called them a zillion times due to his locking his keys in
the car, we no longer had "good enough standing" to qualify-- had
something to do with points (?) to get the towing package. At least that
is what they told us three years ago--- haven't tried since.
