OK I talked to one of our claims adjusters and I had my story wrong. After an injury occurs and it is very obvious that the horse couldnt be saved, x rays and / photo's are fine without an autopsy for a claim. She also said toxicology reports would not be common in a death like this.

I am pretty sure that in the same comment that Larry Jones said that she would be cremated, that he said that a necropsy would be performed...
