Horse Transit Insurance

Do you transport your horse on the ground throughout Canada and the United States? Or do you transport it by plane throughout this continent or to others? Either way, you need to make sure you’re protected against injury or death. You also want to be sure you’re covered while loading and unloading your horse.

For proper protection for these activities, you need horse transit insurance.

In this report you’ll discover:

  • Mortality coverage while you ship your horse
  • Additional endorsements for air travel and worldwide extension of coverage

What To Know About Mortality Coverage while you ship your horse

There are two types of base mortality coverages available for horses: Full Mortality and Specified Perils

Full Mortality coverage responds to all causes of loss, excluding any ailments specifically excluded (pre-existing conditions mainly) and qualification for the coverage depends on the age of the animal and other criteria.

Basic perils coverage protects you from loss due to specific accidental causes including collision and derailment or overturn of vehicles, including loading and unloading.

These coverages would respond should your horse be injured in a trailering accident while within Canada or the USA.

Additional coverage available for flights or out of country travel

We know that when exciting opportunities to purchase new horses or compete in other countries are presented to you, it’s not the time to worry about what your policy may or may not cover.
