Celebrating Collaboration and Gratitude: A Holiday Message to Our Valued Agents

As we approach the holiday season, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the power of collaboration and the incredible work we’ve accomplished together. At Great American, our Equine Mortality and AgriBusiness® teams continue to lead with innovation, integrity and a shared commitment to protecting what matters most to our insureds.

Equine Mortality and AgriBusiness®: A Natural Alliance

The Equine Mortality team, headquartered in Ocala, Florida, is deeply embedded in the horse industry. With employees that live and breathe equine life, we offer specialized coverage for everything from Olympic-level competitors to beloved pasture pets. Our underwriting is informed by real-world experience, and our claims service is reliable and timely.

AgriBusiness complements this expertise by offering many insurance solutions for Equine Farms and Equine activities. Together, we’ve found meaningful ways to collaborate, from co-sponsored events and shared newsletters, to strategic portal integrations.

Our company’s commitment to inter-departmental collaboration doesn’t stop with our two teams. Great American has many divisions you may not have considered yet for your clients:

  • Our Fidelity/Crime division provides specialized insurance against crime-related losses, including employee theft, forgery and cyber fraud. It also offers Kidnap, Ransom & Extortion coverage with expert crisis response support, and Fine Art insurance tailored for collectors with protection for high-value items in transit or on loan.
  • National Interstate offers an array of tailored insurance products and coverages, including traditional insurance and innovative alternative risk transfer solutions such as captive programs.
    • Open Road Insurance is a specialty provider through National Interstate, offering tailored coverage solutions for antique and collectible cars.
  • POMI insurance, short for Peace of Mind Insurance, is our Accident & Health division offering competitively priced, supplemental group accident coverage designed to help protect organizations and individuals from out-of-pocket costs due to injuries during activities like youth sports, school events, camps and more. This can be an excellent solution for trainers.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To our loyal agents: thank you. Your dedication, expertise, and trust are the foundation of our success. Whether you are helping us enter new markets, writing with our other divisions, or simply providing feedback, we are deeply grateful.

This holiday season, we celebrate you and the relationship we’ve built together. We look forward to continuing our journey with you in 2026.

Warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season and a prosperous new year.

With gratitude,

Beth Leaird
President, Equine Mortality Division
