Racehorses get put through their paces and therefore it is important to have the right cover in place. Our policies include cover whilst training and flatracing as we understand that sometimes, whilst training, the horse may undergo activities such as jumps which may otherwise be excluded on a standard flatracing policy. We understand that Racehorses can rise and fall in value after any given race and therefore our policies allow you to amend the sum insured at any time. If you are chasing a dream of winning a Group 1 overseas we can insure your racehorse almost anywhere in the world.
For full policy wordings please see the PDF documents below. At a glance our policies include the following:

Further, NO Veterinary Certificate will be required for any renewal until the horse reaches 14 years of age.
