Ca$H For Your Center  
NARHA knows that in these tough times, even the most deserving and efficient NARHA member centers need extra revenue sources. To this end, NARHA is launched a new program that can bring your center an ongoing CA$H income to help you now and in better economic times to come. This is a totally NO COST program to you! 

Take advantage of the collective buying power of NARHA participants and their families, instructors, centers, volunteers, friends and extended equestrian family. For the first time, we can now effectively harness that immense horse power to benefit each NARHA member center - and that includes yours! Read on...

New Insurance for Instructors  
Markel Logo

News from Markel
Markel has rolled out new insurance for instructors.
 
Independent Instructor Insurance
Markel is now able to offer Commercial General Liability (GL) insurance to NARHA Certified Instructors. This program is designed for independent instructors providing EAAT who do not operate their own facility. The policy will provide up to $1M GL protection for the instructor against Bodily Injury and/or Property Damage law suits allegedly arising out of the independent's instruction and will follow the individual working at different locations throughout the US and Canada. Owners of premises on which the EAAT activities are carried out may be added as Additional Insured. Proof of NARHA Certification is required. 
 
Volunteer Suit Buy-Back
NARHA Centers insured with Markel are able to expand their General Liability (GL) coverage by purchasing 'Volunteer Suit Buy-Back'. When this coverage is added to the NARHA Center's Markel GL policy, the GL policy will protect the center, its staff and its volunteers against third party law suits (as it always has); and it will also protect the center against law suits brought by injured volunteers. The GL policy has a sub-limit of $250,000 for law suits brought by volunteers, and will pay defense costs in addition to the $250,000 available for judgements rendered against the center. The center must purchase Excess Accident Medical Plan C - $50,000 limit per volunteer - when Volunteer Suit Buy-Back is added to the center's GL policy. 
 
For rates and additional information, please contact Debi DeTurk Peloso at Markel 888-217-3657 or email [email protected] about any of the above coverages.
