Your horse may be one of your most important possessions, but it can also be your biggest liability. Individual horse owners place themselves and their assets at risk every time their horse comes in contact with people. Equine-related lawsuits occur more frequently than you may think, and many homeowners’ policies limit this type of equine liability coverage or exclude it altogether.

Mary Phelps a Markel Equine Insurance Specialist knows what it takes.

Markel has specifically designed an insurance policy to cover the private horse owner’s legal liability for both bodily injury and property damage to others resulting from horse ownership. Individual owners of personally owned equines can qualify for this affordable coverage.
