Markel - We Love Dressage

Built on more than 40 years of comprehensive equine coverage, the reputation of Markel is unsurpassed in the field of equine insurance. With the continued support of Markel Insurance, 2006 was a banner year for the Young Horse Dressage Program, including a record number of applications, qualifying competitions and Selection Trial and National Championship entries. Through the support of Markel Insurance, a four-year-old division was added along with the hiring of Scott Hassler as USEF Young Horse Dressage Coach.

“It was a natural for us to be interested in the Young Horse Dressage Program,” said John Seger, Director of Agent Development for Markel. “We really love dressage, and I think it’s important to recognize the ability Americans have to train young dressage horses. Trainers should consider U.S. trained dressage horses as viable options when they’re buying horses for their clients.”
