Coverage Summary

When combined with a farm policy, the commercial equine liability policy provides the necessary liability protection for most horse-related operations. It is intended for amateur and professional alike, with policy limits available up to $1,000,000 per occurrence and an annual aggregate of up to $2,000,000.

This coverage is important if you are engaged in commercial activities such as boarding, instruction, training, breeding or buying and selling horses. Coverage may be extended if you also engage in these activities off site, (for example – a riding instructor or trainer who travels to clients’ facilities, but also works out of their own location).

When a person is injured or property damaged as a result of your equine operation, the policy will settle claims for which you are legally liable. Additionally, it will provide for your defense in lawsuits – whether the lawsuit has merit or is groundless. In most cases the policy will also pay all court costs and judgments. The commercial equine liability policy may be endorsed to include coverage for personally owned horses, personally owned race horses, professional errors & omissions and products / completed operations. Legal liability for non-owned (boarded) horses in your care is excluded from the commercial equine liability policy. This coverage is available in the form of either a care, custody or control enhancement to your Commercial Equine Liability policy.
