Life with a horse is full of unexpected moments. They eat things they shouldn’t, are forever getting into trouble and, just like us, can’t help but get sick from time to time.

That’s where horse insurance has your back. A horse insurance policy covers the cost when your horse has an accident or falls ill – so you can get them the treatment they need without worrying about pricey vet bills.

What is Equine Mortality Insurance?

Equine mortality insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides financial compensation to the horse owner in the event of their horse's unexpected death. This coverage typically includes accidental death, illness, and euthanasia due to illness or injury. It offers crucial financial protection for horse owners, helping to offset the cost of replacing a beloved and often valuable equine companion.

Horse Insurance FAQs

All the questions you’ve ever wanted to ask about horse insurance.

How does horse insurance work?

When you take out a horse insurance policy, you’ll pay an annual or monthly premium to a horse insurance provider that’s bespoke to you and your horse. If they have an accident or get sick, you can claim on your policy to cover the costs of any veterinary bills.

That means whatever vet fee limit you pick, it’ll refresh each year when you renew your policy. You can claim up to the full medical limit every year and we’ll continue to provide coverage for conditions your horse may develop during their policy. A horse insurance policy will also usually cover some costs if your horse is stolen or passes away.

How do I get a horse insurance quote?

Getting a horse insurance quote is easy. All you need to tell us is:
Your details and address
Your horse's age
Your horse's breed
Your horse's gender
Your horse's name
The price you paid for your horse

Is horse's insurance worth it?

Self-insurance is when people put money aside to cover potential vet costs rather than paying for an insurance policy.

The risk with it is that you don't know when your horse's might need treatment and how much it will cost.

If you've only been saving for a few months and your horse has an expensive operation it's unlikely you'll have enough set aside. And if your horse's needs regular treatment it can quickly chip away at any savings.

Even common issues like cuts can cost hundreds of dollars to treat and more serious conditions can easily cost thousands. This is why many people choose to insure their horse's.

What type of horse insurance is right for me?

If your horse's has no pre-existing conditions any of our Essentials, Complete or Comprehensive policies will be suitable for them.

We can provide cover for a horse that’s had a more recent health issue you just need to speak to us. We’ll usually cover a condition as long as your horse's been free from treatment, medicine or advice for a period of time.

Does horse insurance cover vaccinations?

No, vaccinations aren’t covered by horse's insurance because they’re considered as routine procedures.
