What is a BVA Mortality Certificate?

[muckypony]

Hello, this might be a stupid question but im confused!

Looking at insurance quotes for miniature shetlands that will be about 5 months when i get them.

It says:

Please note our minimum vetting requirements are as follows. Should you choose to purchase this insurance cover you will be asked to supply the relevant veterinary examination certificate, which must be no older than 30 days.

A BVA Mortality Certificate for:
Any foal aged between 30 days and 1 year of ageAny horse valued in excess of £5000 without Loss of Use cover

So what does this mean I need?

Thanks!

A mortality cert is usually just that - a basic vetting for heart, lungs, eyes etc & soundness in hand.
Basically - is it worth insurance cover for basics
Usually costs around £65 - £95 depending on vet & area.

Hope this helps

It's basically just a 2 stage vetting IIRC!
