About Our Markel Equine Insurance Services

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

Thank you for your interest in our equine insurance coverages. I am an equine insurance agent providing quality services in the equestrian insurance business for over 25 years. I represent Markel Insurance Company, providing uninterrupted insurance coverages for the equine world for over 50 years.

Our rates are competitive, and service and coverages superior. We pride ourselves in the personal contact we have with our clients, and our extensive knowledge, love of horses and long time participation in the equine industry.

On the scene, at the shows and in the barns, we know horses and understand your needs. We specialize in insuring sporthorses for competition and breeding in dressage, showjumping and three day event. We also offer a full range of farm and liability insurance for professionals in these fields.

In addition to the time and work you invest in owning horses and livestock, you have a substantial financial investment which needs the right protection from a company that knows horses.

Our web site is here to help inform and communicate with our many clients and friends. We have set up the following guided tour of the equine insurance application to simplify your journey through this complex process.

I hope you will follow through the interactive application, submitting your information. We will personally get back to you with a response and a quote, if you request one.
