Performing a post mortem examination of a horse for an insurance company is an important task for the equine practitioner and poses additional challenges for veterinary surgeons who either do not regularly undertake such examinations or do not have horses as a large part of their day-to-day caseload. The aims of this presentation are to describe the reasons that an insurance company will request a post mortem examination; to illustrate how a comprehensive post mortem examination is undertaken at theauthors' institution; and to indicate how the post mortem examination may be adapted for practices or other premises without specialist pathology facilities.
