I didn't have Mitch insured in 2008 or 2009 because I didn't really plan on it, but I'm definitely considering it for this year. I lost my Thoroughbred to colic in 2007 (although he was 30, and was thereby very uninsured at that point) and I'd want to do everything possible to protect Mitch.

The owner has a lot of horses and limited income and I'd like to be sure "my" little Haffy will have insurance to pay in case she ever need say colic surgery or has an expensive injury.

I had it from his age 7 til he was 18 when the company stopped insuring (they insured through the whole 18th year then it was over). I made claims different years on the policy..to the limits of the policy...which then was only around $5,000..andthey paid off great. They paid for rehab expenses and vet bills. I will check with them again but was curious what experiences others have had.
