Marsh McLennan Agency’s Northeast region expands Equine, Farm, and Ranch practice

We are thrilled to announce the expansion of a dedicated Equine, Farm, and Ranch practice within our Private Client Services (PCS) sector in the Northeast region. Recognizing the diverse landscape of agribusiness, we have refined our regional offerings to focus more intently on the specific needs of our equine, farm, and ranch clients, with a particular emphasis on equine investments and their owners. This thoughtful step demonstrates our commitment to crafting personalized insurance solutions and risk management services that address the distinct requirements of this nuanced industry.

The Equine, Farm, and Ranch practice will continue to consist of experienced professionals working closely with our clients to provide comprehensive support. Specializations of the practice include equine mortality coverage, liability protection, workers’ compensation, emergency services network, and more, all designed to create a customized policy that meets the needs of our dynamic clientele.

Waverly Ernst is the Practice Leader of our Equine, Farm, and Ranch division and will collaborate closely with David Byrne, President of PCS of the Northeast region. With over 20 years of personal and professional experience in the equestrian world, Waverly has a deep understanding of the opportunities, challenges, and risks faced by equestrian clients, making her a trusted advisor. Her extensive market knowledge has earned her respect from both clients and colleagues for delivering outstanding service.

“Our position in the equine insurance market is unique: we have built a specialized team of equine professionals to provide our clients with the exceptional service and knowledge they expect from boutique equine and farm agencies,” said Ernst. “At the same time, they benefit from Marsh McLennan Agency’s full suite of solutions. Our strengths in industry specialties, private client services, business insurance, and employee health and benefits grant us the capability to insure the lifestyles that clients have built for themselves.”
