##### FMG&rsquo;s Horse Plus policy covers a range of horses, including leisure, on farm, sport, and equestrian horses.
 If you've taken out this policy with FMG for 12 months or longer, you&rsquo;re automatically insured for a one-year cover extension. So, if your horse dies within a year of your period of insurance ending, and you had notified FMG of the accident, injury, illness or disease prior to your period of insurance ending, you&rsquo;re covered.

 Age restrictions apply to different aspects of cover. Please see policy wording for details.

 

#### What we pay
 We'll pay up to the agreed value or fair market value shown on your certificate plus GST, for any one event.

 Agreed value 
You can choose to discuss an agreed value of your horse with FMG, which may be based on an independent written valuation, the purchase price, the performance of the horse, and/or a number of other factors.

 Fair market value 
This is what a reasonable buyer would have been willing to pay for your horse immediately before the loss and considers factors including competition history and the breed of the horse.

 

#### Optional benefits
 You can purchase optional benefits for even more comprehensive cover

 Stallion – permanent disability 
Cover for your stallion if he becomes permanently impotent, infertile, or incapable of serving mares because of an accident, illness or disease.

 To understand which policy wording applies to you, please check your Certificate of Cover, or head online to FMG Connect to view all your policy details, including the dates of your policy period. If you're unsure, give us a call.
