File an Insurance Claim from a Track Accident at a County Fair?
The MHHA purchases On Track Driver/Trainer Accident Insurance from VanGundy Insurance to ensure our members are covered in the event of an accident during the summer fair program. Individuals who have been injured during these programs must complete and file the necessary forms.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Where do I submit my Coggins and vaccine records?
Owners and trainers should ensure that their horses' medical records are up to date and should be able to provide a copy of these records to the race secretary per USTA rules. The MHHA suggests that owners and trainers keep proper medical records with them at all times.
Do I need to create a log-in to use the website or be a member?
No. The log-in function is completely optional. The log-in function will allow members (who choose) to keep track of their online payments, receive automatic reminders about membership, and nominate/sustain (starting in 2023) through the website, but the paper forms are not going away and no member will be forced to create a log-in.
