This message is from: Robin Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think that for a number of people putting out $10,000 unexpectedly for colic surgery would be difficult. However for a fairly reasonable yearly premium, surgical insurance that will cover usually $7500 to $10,000 depending on what you get can be purchased. Surgical only insurance is less expensive than major medical and can be purchased for horses older than 16 which is the cut-off age for many companies for major medical. You do usually have to have mortality insurance in order to purchase surgical but for a pleasure horse it is usually about 2-3% of the horse's declared value. Pfizer also has a program that provides $5000 toward colic surgery if you give your horse their brand of daily wormer.
