I would think the horse was insured the moment they bought him, before transporting him to the US. So much can happen during transport. That is the smart thing to do.[/QUOTE]
If I recall correctly, you can have travel insurance on the horse separate from just your average show horse insurance. So I’d guess he was insured for the flight over, but then I guess they were waiting to get him assessed, get paperwork, something to get him properly insured in the states.
The whole thing makes me ill. I cannot imagine what the owners are going through. That poor, poor horse. I wonder if they’ll set up some security on the property. I swear the best security I ever encountered were a pair of the most vicious geese I’d ever met. Slept with the horses in the barn; anything disturbed them other than the barn owner, you’d hear about it. Not to mention they’d take a chunk out of anyone. Even the “guard dog” would run away from them.
