Insurance for Show
Jumping Horses
Specialist equine insurance tailored for show jumping horses and their riders across South Africa's competitive equestrian circuit.
Protecting Your
Competition Partner
Show jumping places unique demands on a horse. The repetitive impact of landing after fences, the strain of tight turns at speed, and the intensity of competition all increase the risk of injury.
A career-ending injury to a show jumping horse means losing not just a competition partner but a significant financial investment. Specialist cover ensures you're protected when it matters most — in the arena and beyond.

Insurance Built for
Show Jumping Horses

Tournament & Competition Cover
Extended protection for show jumping horses actively competing on the South African circuit. Includes transport to and from events.
Show Jumping:
Key Injury Risks
Show jumping horses face specific risks that differ from general riding horses. Understanding these helps you choose the right cover.
Tendon & Ligament Injuries
The most common serious injury in show jumpers. Superficial and deep digital flexor tendon injuries can end a competition career. Loss of Use cover is essential.
Fence Impact Trauma
Stripping poles, hitting oxers or falling at a combination can cause significant physical injury requiring immediate and costly veterinary treatment.
Competition & Transport Accidents
Injuries sustained during shows or while travelling between events. Tournament cover ensures your horse is protected on the road and in the arena.
Illness & Disease
African Horse Sickness, colic, and respiratory conditions can affect any horse. All Risk Mortality cover provides peace of mind against unforeseen health crises.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Previous injuries or conditions may affect insurability. We work with you to find suitable cover that accurately reflects your horse's history.
Loss of Value
A show jumping horse that can no longer compete loses significant market value. Loss of Use cover protects the financial investment in your competition horse.
