Eric Huston, Insurance Agent

🎉🐴 Happy Birthday to our Olive Agent, Eric Huston! 🐴🎉

Today we’re celebrating Eric Huston, who has been a valued part of the Olive team for many years.

We like to joke that Eric is the oldest around here…
…but truth be told — it’s not really a joke. He really is. 😄

Don’t worry though… he’s cool old, not grandpa old.

Eric takes incredible care of his customers, always goes the extra mile, and brings so much experience and dedication to Olive Equine. We’re proud to have him on our team.

And honestly — Eric has it made…
✅ A beautiful wife
✅ Two great boys

He really doesn’t need anything else for his birthday… but if you’d like to send some birthday sentiments his way, we’ll be sure to share them! 🎂💚

Help us wish Eric the very best day!

On this we salute our nation’s dairy farmers and producers.🐮🥛

🎉🐴 PSA for Olive Insurance Customers & Horse Owners! 🐴🎉

Per industry standards, all horses officially turn a year older on January 1st 📅

👉 If you’ve been considering insuring a teenage horse, DO IT IN DECEMBER.
Lock in a lower age-based rate now and avoid a rate increase for the next 12 months 💰✔️

A simple timing move can mean real savings — and better protection for your horse.

📞 Contact your Olive Insurance agent today to get coverage in place before the calendar flips!

🚨 Crops are a livelihood, don’t jeopardize that! Always err on the side of caution!

How about Carlee Otero and RG?? We caught up with Carlee prior to heading to Vegas and she answered some fun questions about her travels and her horses.

Carlee proved once again why she’s one of the best in the game at the 2025 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Riding AM Regina George, Otero delivered multiple go-round wins, including the fastest run of the Finals, and showed incredible grit after early challenges.

With precision, power, and pure determination, Carlee’s 2025 NFR run was a true showcase of elite barrel racing and an unforgettable partnership inside the Thomas & Mack.

At Olive Insurance, we’re honored to support athletes like Carlee!

🎄Grateful to work with Olive Insurance Agency, LLC!!

Water remains as important for your horse in cold weather as it is in the summer. As a matter of fact, decreased water consumption in the winter is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic — although there are other predisposing factors such as poor hay quality, lack of exercise, internal parasites and dental problems.

Impaction colic is essentially constipation and most often includes the accumulation of hard, dry f***l material in the colon. The usual signs of impending impaction colic are depression, a decreased appetite, and decreased production and dryness of manure.

Studies demonstrate that you can increase your horse's winter water consumption if you provide access to heated water, but ONLY if that is the only source of water available. As always, if you have any questions about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!
