Arabian Horse
Insurance
Specialist equine insurance tailored for Arabian horses and their owners across South Africa's endurance, showing and pleasure riding community.
Protecting Your
Arabian Partner
Arabians are among the oldest and most resilient horse breeds, prized for their stamina, intelligence and beauty. Yet their very strengths — hardiness, endurance capacity, and spirited nature — bring unique insurance considerations.
From the demands of 100+ kilometre endurance rides to the scrutiny of the show ring, Arabian horses face distinct risks that general equine policies often fail to address adequately.

Insurance Built for
Arabian Horses
Every Arabian is different. We tailor cover to your horse's value, discipline and specific risk profile — whether endurance champion or beloved companion.
All Risk Mortality
Comprehensive cover for death resulting from illness, disease, accident or injury. The foundation of any Arabian horse insurance policy.
Loss of Use
Critical cover for Arabians. If your horse becomes permanently incapable of endurance riding or showing at its intended level, this protects your investment.
Accidental External Injury
Financial support for veterinary treatment when your Arabian sustains accidental physical injuries — from trail riding accidents to competition incidents.
Tournament & Competition Cover
Extended protection for Arabians actively competing in endurance rides, breed shows or performance competitions across the South African circuit.
Arabian Horses:
Key Health Risks
Arabian horses face specific health and injury risks that differ from other breeds. Understanding these helps you choose the right cover.
Metabolic & Cardiac Stress
Endurance competitions push Arabians to their cardiovascular limits. Metabolic disorders including exertional rhabdomyolysis and cardiac arrhythmias require specialist cover.
Musculoskeletal Injuries
Long-distance training and competition places repetitive strain on tendons, ligaments and joints. Suspensory ligament injuries are common in endurance Arabians.
African Horse Sickness
A significant risk to all South African horses, including Arabians. AHS can be fatal and vaccination is essential. Mortality cover protects against this devastating disease.
Respiratory Conditions
Arabians can be prone to recurrent airway obstruction and other respiratory issues, particularly endurance horses exposed to dust and harsh riding conditions.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Previous injuries or hereditary conditions may affect insurability. We work with you to find suitable cover that accurately reflects your Arabian's history.
Loss of Performance Value
An Arabian that can no longer compete in endurance or show loses significant value. Loss of Use cover protects the financial investment in your horse.
