We average having 10 horses. In my 29 years of having a horse, I had two
horses die on me (one was boarded out at the time) In the last 7 months, I
have had THREE die, with a TRUE value of $14,000 (herd sire included).
Sure I wish they had been insured, but multiply 10 x approximately $250 per
year x 30 years....
On the other hand, I AM going to insure a very valuable colt who is a sale
colt and if I just had one horse who was kept in a corral or stall, I'd
probably insure him.
BTW, the insurance companies I have talked with want PROOF of your horse's value.
