In the world of equine insurance, it is easy to offer a policy. What is more challenging, and therefore more uncommon, is doing it with the right people, real expertise, and seamless support from quote to claim. That is what Rokstone Agriculture aimed to achieve, and now, we have succeeded.
We are excited to introduce US Equine Mortality insurance, our sixth product line since launching in 2021. This new offering continues our growth in the US livestock sector and is supported by $1 million in admitted A-rated capacity from PSIC.
It Starts With The Team
Led by equine expert and newly promoted Equine Underwriting Manager, Alexandra Choumitsky, the product offers strong coverage for everything from standard mortality to enhanced limits for high-value Sport Horses.
With over eight years of experience underwriting livestock and equine risks and a specialism in Sport Horses and Thoroughbreds, Alexandra brings a deep understanding of what brokers and their clients need most.
“We’ve built something that reflects how brokers want to work; flexible coverage, digital access, and most importantly, people they can trust,” she says. “We know that when you’re insuring high-value animals, expertise matters.”
Coverage With Confidence
US Equine Mortality offers standard equine mortality coverage with major medical reimbursement options between $7,500 and $15,000. But for high-value Sport Horses, Rokstone can offer enhanced limits of up to $17,500 - providing a valuable peace of mind for horse owners that their investment is protected against the widest possible range of losses.
Our new product line is designed not only with policy in mind but around the experiences of the people delivering it. Available via Rokstone’s digital quote and bind platform, it is easy for brokers to transact business, access market-leading products, and drive up service standards with faster turnaround times and more tailored solutions for the individual needs of owners.
Claims Handled In-House
Where many equine insurers outsource claims, Rokstone brought them home. Partnering with our in-house, third-party administrator, Verus Claims Management, we deliver a best-in-class claims experience tailored to this specialist market.
Led by industry veteran Nicole Pidcoe, whose background in Saddlebreds and over 15 years of experience make her one of the most respected claims leaders in the field, Verus offers 24/7 availability, rapid resolution with eCheck services, and deep familiarity with the nuances of equine loss.
“Claims are where trust is tested,” says Nicole. “With Verus, we bring empathy, speed, and know-how at the exact moment clients need it most.”
Expanding Our Solutions
Equine Mortality is a natural expansion of our vision to serve brokers with tailored, tech-enabled livestock solutions and a people-first approach. It also opens up exciting new value for brokers who already place Farm and Ranch business with Rokstone, enabling them to build multi-line solutions that meet the full scope of their clients’ needs.
Eric Conklin, CEO of Rokstone Agriculture, is happy that Rokstone is expanding the brand further. He said, “By adding the equine portfolio, we can help owners protect the lives of their animals and the financial investments.”
At Rokstone Agriculture, we are committed to integrating advanced tools with industry expertise. Our goal is not only to compete in the market but also to elevate expectations for brokers and their clients. By setting a higher standard, we aim to enhance the overall experience and outcomes for everyone involved.
Whether it is the experience of our team, the accessibility of our platform, or the personal touch of our in-house claims handling, every detail has been designed to make high-quality equine insurance simpler, faster, and more reliable.
