💲 Cost isn’t the only comparison you need to make when choosing which insurance broker to place your horse with 💲

Equine insurance is very different to car, house and health insurance. Coverage terms and conditions can vary widely between insurers and it’s important to understand these differences.

Important terms to look for when comparing insurance options:

🔷 Fair Market Value vs Agreed Value – the difference can impact what you get paid out in the event of a claim

🔷 Renewal Extension Clause – These impact health document requirements and exclusions for injury and illness at renewal

🔷 Life Saving Surgery Cover vs Vet Fee Cover – Two separate extensions with different cover parameters and the limit availability varies with each insurer

🔷 Underwriter experience and reputation in the field – some UWs are new to equine insurance and others have decades of experience. Familiarise yourself with your underwriter and their experience in the industry.

Yesterday afternoon we welcomed 𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 to experience cutting firsthand!

🚨 Not all bloodstock insurance policies are the same 🚨

Here are key insights every owner, agent, breeder or trainer needs to know about insuring a horse ℹ️

Bloodstock insurance can feel complex, especially when the policy wording is filled with technical language and extensively defined terms. Yet the importance of understanding exactly what your policy covers cannot be overstated.

Whilst we understand equine insurance is not for everyone, it’s important to consider the financial burden if the unexpected happens, even when your horse is fit and well, and how you can protect that risk financially.

A common misconception about the need for equine insurance is presuming that coverage is not required if your horse is in good health. Whilst implementing and maintaining good husbandry practices, exercise and training regimes and safe housing measures can help mitigate some of the risks involved with horse ownership, the unexpected can still happen.

We all know horses are unpredictable and when training, travelling and competing, racing or breeding, the risks add up at much larger scale.

Talk to our experienced team about cover that suits your financial needs to better protect your investments when the unexpected happens.
