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.
