insuring after a severe infection - query atypical myopathy

[dorito]

If a pony had a massive infection last autumn (not actually diagnosed as atypical myopathy but around that time of year and with no apparent cause) and is then sold on, how would the new owner stand in terms of insurance? I'm assuming this would have to be declared - would there be exclusions, would the pony actually be insurable?
Any advice or thoughts welcome, thanks

If the pony has fully recovered and you can get a vet to write a report to the insurance company then they may insure again.
My boy had a mystery severe lameness in a hind foot which happened not long before my renewal so I had to declare it. They put an exclusion on the hind legs, (front feet already excluded due to navicular). It turned out to be an abcess some two months later when the farrier was shoeing him and found a large hole growing out.
When it came round next year I asked them to remove the exclusion on his hinds and they said get the vet to write a report to say what the problem turned out to be and that he was fully recovered now. They did remove the exclusion eventually.
That was some years ago so I don't know if they would be so amenable nowadays. Hope this helps.
