Loss event
In case of illness, disease, lameness, injury, accident or physical impairment of any kind of a horse, we ask you to immediately consult a veterinarian and report the case to us as soon as possible.
In the event of the death or humane killing of a horse, you must:
- Immediately engage a veterinarian to confirm the identity of the horse and the cause of death (or in the case of humane killing, the reason why the humane killing was necessary). An autopsy is required for this purpose.
- Notify us as soon as possible and provide complete details about what happened and any other information we may request.
- Submit a detailed claim form and release to us within sixty (60) days of the death or humane killing of the horse.
