Insurance Services

Involvement with horses is an expensive business or hobby and the financial investment is generally significant for the person making it. Valued and valuable horses are often irreplaceable for the owner but as with all such situations it is nice to know you have a fall-back, a safety net, a plan B in the event of loss. We can give you that peace of mind.

We provide the following range of cover, with additional extensions available on request:

  • All risks of mortality & theft
  • Stallion first season infertility
  • Stallion permanent disability
  • Prospective Foal
  • Unsoundness of wind

We offer comprehensive and personalised thoroughbred bloodstock insurance for both amateurs and professionals. Whether insuring a seven-figure international stallion or a horse of lesser value, we provide top-notch, professional service. Available 24/7, our personal service ensures direct access to your insurance executive—without call centres or hold times.

With horses insured all over the world, our global experience and connections allow us to cover your horse wherever it is and whatever it’s doing. As a leading Irish bloodstock insurance broker, we leverage our strong negotiating power with Lloyds to secure the best rates, coverage, and claims settlement.

We cover thoroughbreds and non-thoroughbreds at all stages and activities, from foals to racehorses and breeding stock. Our reputation for claims handling is first class, treating every horse with equal importance. Our team’s personal interest in horses ensures knowledgeable and efficient service.
