EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN July 2021 Page 17 The news East Coast horse owners need to know Remember...tell our advertisers you found them in East Coast Equestrian! Equine insurance isn’t exciting, but it IS important--and confusing. That’s why the exper- tise of an independent agent is so important. Jeffers Insurance Agency, located in York, PA, focuses on Agricultural/Equine Insurance, Horse Mortality and Major Med- ical. It is one of a few insurance agencies that have the markets, expertise and desire to special- ize in this class of risk. In fact, many other insurance agencies refer equine clients directly to them. Agency founder Walter Jeffers has 50 plus years’ expe- rience in the insurance business. He was president of the Penn- sylvania Equine Council when it lobbied the state legislature to pass the state’s Equine Liabil- ity Law in 2006. The agency staff has 20+ years of insurance knowledge and experience with equine as their specialty. Jeffers Agency represents many A-rated Insurance is Complicated. Jeffers Agency Can Help insurance carriers that offer coverages and products for the equine risk class. They are a one stop shop for equine insurance shoppers! The pandemic has created another dynamic in the insurance industry by greatly increasing the cost of lumber and other building materials. “With many property owners remodeling and building new structures during the pandemic, we make sure our clients have the level of coverage to replace the newly constructed structures and the reconstructed buildings so they can be made whole after a loss,” Jeffers said. “We emphasize being expe- rienced independent agents,” Jef- fers continued. “Having a quality number of choices gives us the competitive edge.” Jeffers’ staff visits with potential and current customers in order to assess loss exposures and review coverages to avoid gaps in coverage. In addition, they offer personal and commercial insurance. Insurance is complicated to understand and easy to get wrong.
