    Pony Ride Insurance....suggest company, please.

    try talking to the agent who covers your home and farm, you may be surprised how little it costs. I was looking at getting coverage for teaching lessons here a while back and it was not that bad... depends on a lot of things i think. A good agent will help you explore the alternatives as to what...

    I was a humane investigator here in Illinois for several years, not only for horses but also qualified and certified for small animals. Some of this policy would maybe depend on the humane laws in your state or the one with the animal for adoption, but I believe it is standard policy for most...
