Thank you. Prob is I cant understand 60% of it. Do you think the British embassy wil be able to give me a number?

Hillybilly

A number for what? A horse insurance company in Spain with all their info and operators English? I think not! A translator? There are some listed here in Free Beer I think.

No, I just called them anyway, they said they have 3 within 2 blocks, but couldn't give any more details by phone, so promised to translate and fax me a menu.

Yeah right, you are all so bloody smart! Turns out you cannot get horse insurance in Spain for vets fees with any company. It is just something they dont do Thanks Hilly for your initial help. Christ, sometimes you guys are serious w***ers.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion (re vets fees )
This from the MAPFRE site:

Asistencia Veterinaria (opcional):

* Garantía de atención veterinaria por cólico: Prestación de la atención médica veterinaria necesaria para el tratamiento del síndrome cólico, desde la aparición de los primeros síntomas,
* Garantía de cirugía a consecuencia de cólico.
* Garantía de hospitalización por problemas respiratorios (Neumonía, Pleuritis, Pleuroneumonía)
* Garantía de tratamiento de problemas ortopédicos (reparación de fracturas y fisuras óseas, lavados articulares).
* Garantía de transporte a centros concertados

or were you looking for more comprehensive cover?

I only know what I have today been told by various insurance companies and people that own horses over here. Tey say vets fees are not covered
