Insurance

Protecting Your
Arabian Partner
Arabian horses are among the most versatile and valuable breeds in the equestrian world — excelling in endurance, showing, dressage, pleasure riding and breeding programmes across South Africa. Their unique physiology and specialised uses demand insurance cover that recognises their distinct value.
Whether your Arabian is a competitive endurance athlete, a show-ring champion or a cherished breeding asset, the right insurance protects both your investment and your peace of mind.

Arabian Horses:
Key Considerations
Arabian horses have unique characteristics and risk profiles that specialist insurance must account for.
Metabolic Sensitivity
Arabians can be prone to metabolic conditions including Equine Metabolic Syndrome and insulin resistance. These require careful management and can affect insurability.
Endurance-Related Injuries
Arabians dominate SA endurance riding. The extreme distances place them at risk of tendon injuries, lameness and metabolic stress during competition.
Show Ring Risks
Show Arabians face risks during transport to events, training for halter and performance classes, and accidents in unfamiliar show environments.
Breeding & Fertility Concerns
Valuable Arabian breeding stock requires specialist cover including stallion infertility, broodmare mortality and foal protection for breeding programmes.
Colic & Gastrointestinal Health
Colic is a leading cause of mortality in horses. Arabians are not immune, and the stress of competition, transport or changes in routine can increase risk.
Loss of Value
An Arabian that can no longer compete, show or breed loses significant market value. Loss of Use cover is essential to protect your investment.
