Boerperd
Insurance
Specialist equine insurance tailored for the South African Boerperd — a versatile breed cherished for its heritage, temperament and adaptability across riding, driving and leisure disciplines.
Protecting South Africa's
Own Breed
The Boerperd is deeply rooted in South African heritage — a breed developed for stamina, soundness and versatility. Whether used for pleasure riding, showing, driving or farm work, these horses deserve cover that reflects their unique value.
Standard equine insurance often fails to account for the multi-discipline nature of Boerperd ownership. Our breed-specific policies ensure every activity — from the show ring to the trail — is properly protected.

Insurance Built for
Boerperd Horses
From cherished family horses to prized breeding stock, we tailor cover to your Boerperd's value, use and specific risk profile.
All Risk Mortality
Comprehensive cover for death resulting from illness, disease, accident or injury. The foundation of any Boerperd insurance policy.
Loss of Use
Essential cover for performance and breeding Boerperds. If your horse becomes permanently incapable of its intended use, this provides financial protection.
Accidental External Injury
Financial support for veterinary treatment when your Boerperd sustains accidental injuries — from paddock accidents to trail riding incidents.
Tournament & Competition Cover
Extended protection for Boerperds competing in shows, endurance rides or driving events across South Africa.
Boerperd:
Key Health Risks
While the Boerperd is known for its hardiness, these horses still face breed-specific health challenges that the right insurance can protect against.
African Horse Sickness
A serious viral disease prevalent in South Africa. All Boerperd owners should ensure mortality cover is in place and vaccinations are current.
Laminitis & Metabolic Disorders
Boerperds kept on rich grazing can be prone to laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome, requiring careful management and veterinary treatment.
Farm & Paddock Injuries
Boerperds kept on smallholdings face risks from fencing, farm equipment and uneven terrain. Accidental injury cover is strongly recommended.
Hereditary Conditions
As a closed studbook breed, certain hereditary conditions may arise. Pre-existing condition disclosure is important when taking out a policy.
Colic & Digestive Issues
Colic remains one of the leading causes of mortality in horses. Veterinary costs for colic treatment can escalate quickly without proper cover.
Loss of Value
An injury that prevents your Boerperd from showing, breeding or performing its intended role can significantly reduce its market value.
