I lost my mare to EAM at the end of April. She was in hospital for 24 hours prior to being put to sleep and I am currently processing a claim for the vet fees and death through my insurance company (E&L) They are actually not too bad by the way-it took me 2 months to get my head around even starting the claim and they've been pretty helpful. I've not even been with them for very long having left another company I had been with for years.
There is one outstanding piece of paperwork that is stopping the claim going through and it's a valuation for my mare. They've advised me that because I don't have a receipt for my mare I need to get a professional horse breeder or trainer to give a valuation, i sat on this for quite a few weeks because I don't know any horse professionals. I called this week to ask if I could get my vet to do the valuation and they advised me that I can just contact any breeder or trainer and ask for this and they would do it.
Has anyone ever had to do this from either perspective? I can't imagine just picking someone out of the phone book and asking them for this, I am a bit scared to do it, but I do need to get it settled.
