245.0. "Horse insurance: E. J. McGrath?" by NEWVAX::AIKEN (I love Crabbet Arabians! 301-867-1584) Mon Apr 13 1987 19:57

    Has anyone had any experience with E. J. McGrath Insurance?  I'm
    thinking of switching from Markel for cost reasons.  McGrath offers
    a substantial barn discount for show horses -- 3.15%, I think --
    which is better than the 3.75% per horse that Markel charges.
    
    I'd like to know about any peculiarities, such as non-payment for
    death sustained during transportation or escape.
    
    Also, McGrath offers a four-payment, no-interest plan, rather than
    the one-time clump from Markel.  
    
    Understand, I haven't ever had a problem with Markel -- I just can't
    afford to insure with them at their current rate.  I asked someone
    in Richmond (home office) about a barn discount.  She said they
    used to do that, but don't anymore.  I've got too many horses not
    to look around for a more reasonable rate.
