Equine Liability has been built up to be this big, dreaded, daunting task, and in reality, it’s not. We’re here to break it down and help you through, so you can get back in the tack with one less worry on your mind. Here’s a brief over view of products offered and which ones might be a good fit for you.

Walk around any horse show and you're sure to find some adult beverages, be it beer, champagne (I mean who doesn't love a horse show mimosa!?) or my favorite, wine. 

With the summer comes horse show season and eventually the long hot days waking up before the sun and finishing after its set. 

Perusing Facebook I saw this amazing, heavenly treat and immediately thought of summer horse shows....

Tack trunks. We need them. We use them. And sometimes abuse them. 

We personalize them with name plates and order covers in our barn's colors with a monogram or last name. 

Many friends have photos along with back numbers from special shows or classes tacked up on the inside of their trunk lids. I didn't want to put a push pin or tape directly in the top of my trunk lid (gives me anxiety just thinking about it!) so I came up with a solution!

​Last summer, I finally got to show at my goal fence height for two glorious rounds, one of which landed me my first first place in a jumper class ever. A month later at our next show, I went in to do a lower “warm up” round on the first day, and was promptly thrown off my horse. So it goes with horses, am I right? But where I could pick my younger self up off the ground and get going again like it never happened, my adult self does not bounce back so quickly.

To ride or not to ride is definitely a question all of us female equestrians that get pregnant are going to have to face. Everyone has their own reasons for what they decide to do and none are wrong as it’s a personal decision for you and your journey. I figured I would channel my personal reasons for what I did.

​Despite our rocky history, I am once again tempted to start making plans and dreaming of future greatness for Rivalry, my 9-year old Czech warmblood gelding.  We completed our first weekend of jumping around miniature courses after 18 months of challenges this makes perfect sense to me. I set goals. I set multiple goals at the same time and set about to achieve all of them.

As an equine insurance agent, I have to admit, I love my job. I get to help my fellow equestrians find coverage that works for them, and we get to relate on all things horsey along the way. I don’t have to worry about being judged for my Danskos, or my desk full of horse pictures. I get to help my tribe find what they need! It’s kind of amazing.
 
With that said, I want to emphasis how essential insurance is to your business and protecting those that you love, four-­‐legged and two. I get it. I’ve been on the other side of the table. Before I was an agent I had no idea what I was buying, and had so many questions I was afraid to ask. I’m here to help, and I’m excited to do it. I’ve put together a quick two­‐part guide, to help you beef up on the ins and outs of equine insurance.

It’s 8 a.m. and I am in a folding camp chair I have fished out of the horse trailer. There is a soft breeze, bright blue skies, sunlight filtered through swaying trees. The smell is unmistakably horse show; hoof oil, fly spray, show sheen, freshly shampooed horses and faintly, coffee. Through a perfect set of happy accidents I am at the George Morris Clinic at Smoke Tree Ranch in Scottsdale.
