"Service with Plains Horizon is outstanding. Marvin knows horses and he knows the insurance business. He makes a serious effort to fit your program with the best policy for your program. When I have questions about insurance, I want an actual person to talk to. And that's what I have with Marvin. I just can't say enough good things about him and his company."

"I have been dealing with Marvin for a long time, and have always had great experiences with him. He's easy going and he knows the industry so well. There are times that I have to spend a lot of money on a horse, and I need to know that my investment is going to be covered. I may try a horse in a different state, and all I have to do is just pick up the phone and call Marvin. He always takes care of me. He is just a straight-up, good guy. And that's the kind of folks I like to deal with."

“I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Marvin. His honesty goes a long way with me, but 2005 cinched the deal. We lost Dynas Plain Special, an earner of over $300,000, winner of the WPRA Barrel Racing World Championship, and averag winner at the NFR. It didn’t stop there. We lost three other horses that year. It was very unfortunate, but there was no fuss, no questions, no problems. He is never pushy, and he always tends to business.”

"I have known Marvin all my life and he is one of the most honest people I know. Fortunately, I have not had to make a claim on a policy. Marvin knows how rodeo works. He understands it and knows what can happen. It is nice to work with someone that really knows the business. I might be trying a horse and need to take it somewhere to rope on for 3 days. I know I can call Marvin and tell him I need coverage on that horse. He understands that situation and is reasonable. He is just an all-around good guy."

“We started doing business with Marvin Tavarez almost ten years ago. He takes the time to familiarize us with every policy and his knowledge of the horse business makes it easy for him to recommend coverages based upon differing situations. It’s nice to do business with any agent that cares.”

“Marvin ropes; he knows the business and he has always been so easy to deal with.

Having a carrier like Catlin backing his business makes the decision to insure my horses with Plains Horizon an easy one.”
