Leisure

• At Markel we care about the welfare of all horses. Our team of experts, most of whom are riders and horses owners themselves, understand the financial and emotional investment the decision to purchase a horse represents. Several years ago we put in place a series of measures designed for leisure horses offering guarantees at a competitive price. We believe in the importance of personal contacts and wish to be at your side to offer you advice and to protect your horses.

• Markel quality

  • The agreed value
    All Markel equine policies are done on agreed value, which means you know what you’ll get in the event of a claim (except if the horse is bought at an auction or runs in a claimer). Some of our competitors specify that you get at the best the « market value », which means you are not sure that you’ll get the insured value back.

  • coverage across Western Europe
    The horse is covered during transport, without an additonal premium.

  • death following a surgery or a castration (up to 3 yo) is covered

  • Participation in costs of emergency surgery
    1500 € are included in the mortality package in case of a colic, fracture (below knee / hock) or inguinal hernia surgery that has to be performed to save your horse’s life, for horses up to 12 yo at the first subscription

  • the compensation for the rent of a foster mare
    Up to 2500 € available to rent a foster mare if your mare dies in order to give the foal better chances to survive.

  • the compensation for the post mortem fees
    €500 are available to take part to the fees following the death of your horse (autopsy, knacker …)
