Coverage specifically designed for horse clubs and associations.

Some insurance policies can be inadequate for the needs of your horse club. You need coverage that encompasses events, property, members, spectators and volunteers. That’s where Markel Specialty's horse club insurance can help.

Our horse club and association insurance is a great choice for your organization because it can provide the coverage you need for your club’s leased or owned premises, special events, and your club’s various functions, such as shows, clinics and trail rides.

Why is insurance for horse clubs and associations important?

If someone gets hurt or property is damaged at a club function or event, your club could be held liable. That’s why you need insurance for horse clubs and associations. 

Here are two examples of claims we paid out for insured clubs:*

  • At one of our insured’s championship show, the ring master was hanging the winning garland around the winning horse’s head. The horse spooked, reared up, and threw the rider off.
  • A horse was scared by something while on our insured club’s premises. The horse backed up and caused severe damage to someone’s car. 

*These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. Any claim submitted under the policy would be evaluated on its own merits and facts compared to the terms of the policy.
