Location: Mississippi		 I have a 7 year old mare. I just broke her this year, but she is already off to a great start-won both her times out, already won about $100 from one show and the other was a local ribbon deal. Now, she was GIVEN to me. However, she was not broke and she was still with her dam. Crazy, I know. 
APHA mare, 14.3 hands. 1100 pounds. 
Lets say the horse ends up being a pretty solid horse (lets go for bottom 2D/top 3D at 300+ entries). She is my ONLY horse.
She stays barefoot. Is an easy keeper. I feed her a local feed company 14/8 pellet, along with electrolytes and Exceed 6 way. Only goes to vet to get shots, coggins, and dental. 
Is it worth getting insurance on a horse like this? 

Trust me, no feelings hurt here. I am a broke school teacher. Just want to know if it is worth my time to insure a horse like this, or just leave it be? Part of me says leave it alone because she is a mare. The other says I will have to take out a loan to purchase another horse.

What do you guys do?

Location: Where if you don't like the weather...wait 5 mins!		I am in insurance. Not horse insurance.

What my boss always says to people who ask if something is worth insuring - buy as much insurance as you can afford.

Simple and to the point.

Location: Kansas		Insure her for what you think she is worth. My insurance company automatically insures my horses up to $5,000 through homeowners. BUT>......the horse can only die of certain causes (lightning, drown, gun shot, etc.)
