We know there are a lot of choices out there for equine insurance. Personally some of our veterinarians have have great experiences with Markell. We were excited to see that they now include an additional $2500 of coverage towards colic surgery for no additional cost. So for $154/year you can get surgical coverage for up to $5000 with only a $50 deductible and an additional $2500 towards colic surgery. (This is in addition to mortality coverage based on the insured value of the horse). This is a great deal and can make a huge difference in the event of a major surgery. We know insurance can be a confusing topic, so we'd like to open up to any questions you may have about equine insurance, or let you share your recommendations for insurance companies that you have used/liked in the past. Feel free to call or email us anytime, or post a response on

Insurance plans do not include routine care such as vaccines, deworming or dentistry. They usually only cover mortality and major medical and/or surgery depending on the policy. Some practices, like ours, will cover the "wellness plans", that for a set price include many of the routine procedures such as teeth, vaccines, deworming, wellness exam, Coggins test.
